2023's Best in Show Entry
by Chenglin Sofia Ji

The National Rifle Association of America (NRA) is now accepting submissions for the 2024 George Montgomery/NRA Youth Wildlife Art Contest. First started in 1987, the George Montgomery/NRA Youth Wildlife Art Contest offers young artists interested in hunting and wildlife an outlet to use their creative talent, practice artistic techniques, and refine wildlife identification skills through the creation of original works.

“The George Montgomery/NRA Youth Wildlife Art Contest gives budding artists the ability to use their creativity and talents to capture the beauty of North American wildlife and the outdoors,” said Peter Churchbourne, managing director of NRA Hunting. “This contest provides an opportunity to spread the positive effects of hunting and wildlife conservation. As the largest member organization of hunters, NRA is committed to preserving and advancing our Nation’s cherished hunting traditions for generations to come.”

Open to students in grades 1 through 12, submissions will be accepted until October 31, 2024. Entries must be signed by the artist and should portray any North American game bird or animal that may be legally hunted or trapped. Endangered species and non-game animals, such as eagles and snakes, are not eligible subjects. Winning artists will be notified by January 15, 2025.

First, second, and third place winners will be selected in each of four categories, based on the student’s grade level, and will be awarded $750, $500 and $250, respectively.

An overall Best in Show winner will receive a cash prize of $1,000.

Submissions should be in digital form only. The preferred specifications for submissions will be a minimum of 8½ x 11 inches with 300 DPI or higher resolution.
