Birds in Art/Art in Birds Challenge
Ithaca, NY--People of all ages are invited to go outside and look for
Birds in Art/Art in Birds for a contest sponsored by the Celebrate
Urban Birds project at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Celebrate Urban
Birds is a free, year-round citizen-science project focused on birds
in neighborhood settings.
For the Birds in Art/Art in Birds challenge you can take photos, do
some painting, write a story, create a sculpture. What do you see in a
bird that is beautiful, stirring, or inspirational? It could be a
broken-down nest in winter, a song recording, video of a bird perching
on your window, something that makes you stop, look twice, laugh, cry.
Prizes include bird sound recordings, books, gift certificates,
"green" products, and more. We'll send the first 50 entrants a copy of
our "Doves and Pigeons" poster by Julie Zickefoose. Selected images
will be posted on the Celebrate Urban Birds website.
How to enter:
1. Email your photo, art, or video entry to urban...@cornell.edu.
Links are acceptable for videos.
2. Write "Art in Birds/Birds in Art contest" in the subject line.
3. Include your name and mailing address
4. Tell us why you submitted your entry to the Art in Birds/Birds in
