Introduction
SAVE THE FROGS! seeks art museums, galleries, art organizations and art-related websites to partner with and help us promote the SAVE THE FROGS! Art Contest. Partnerships do not require much time on your organization's part. The primary goal of the partnership is to use your pre-established connections in the art world to help us spread the word about the SAVE THE FROGS! Art Contest and encourage your supporters to take part. In turn, partnerships benefit your organization by helping to foster a future generation of talented artists, and through the positive publicity you receive for working to protect the environment and promote arts among youth.
The contest serves as an excellent method for getting students interested in both frogs and art, and gives them a productive and enjoyable diversion from their normal school activities, while educating them about frog extinctions. Professional artists enjoy it as well, and SAVE THE FROGS! benefits significantly by the the fabulous art that we receive and use to raise funds and awareness for our cause.

Subject: Save The Frogs Art Contest
We are happy to have teamed up with SAVE THE FROGS! Nonprofit Organization (www.savethefrogs.com) to promote the international SAVE THE FROGS! Art Contest. The goal of the contest is to raise awareness of the mass extinction of amphibians that is currently taking place worldwide.
There are cash prizes and the best art will be used on eco-friendly SAVE THE FROGS! merchandise and in books to raise funds for their amphibian conservation efforts. Please spread the word to any artists or teachers you know, and feel free to submit your finest frog art. Please visit www.savethefrogs.com/art to learn more. Thanks!
