Launched on Earth Day, April 22, the contest is open to all young Canadians aged 19 or younger. Youth are invited to "get to know" local plants and animals and then submit works of art, writing, or photography to the contest for a chance to win wild prizes including a week-long stay at Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park, hosted by Parks Canada. Other prizes include gifts from Scholastic, Panasonic, and Opus Framing and Art Supplies, cash prizes, and the opportunity to have your work published in the 2011 Get to Know Contest Calendar. The Contest closes May 28. Teachers may use the contest as a school project to help their students learn about biodiversity. Just be sure to fill out the “If you are submitting your entry as part of a class project” part of the entry form. For more information, visit .
We hope you will enter this year’s contest. Get outdoors, get to know, and get prizes!! http://www.gettoknow.ca/
