Feathered Friends Art Contest
For the fourth consecutive year The Friends of the San
Luis Valley National Wildlife Refuges conducted a kids art contest in
recognition of National Wildlife Refuge Week October13-19, 2003. The
Feathered Friends art contest (formerly called the Junior Duck Stamp
Art Contest) is for San Luis Valley students in
grades K-12. The subject of the artwork must be any native North American
bird species. Nearly 60 pieces of artwork were submitted from schools
throughout the San Luis Valley. All of the artwork was on display through
November 2003 at the Alamosa Refuge Visitor’s Center. All contestants
received a ribbon for participating and prizes were given for first,
second and third place in each grade category. A special thank you to
local artist Laura Murphy and Adams State College Biology student Robin
Vaughn for judging the art contest.
