View The 2023 Winners Here!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Amphibian populations worldwide are in the midst of a mass extinction crisis, yet many people are completely unaware! We need your help in getting the word out: we encourage all nature lovers to seek out their inner frog artist and participate in the SAVE THE FROGS! Art Contest! People of all ages, nationalities, and skill levels are encouraged to enter the contest, and we hope all schools will draw frog art on Save The Frogs Day<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The SAVE THE FROGS! Art Contest invites you to create your coolest frog artwork. The contest raises awareness of the amphibian extinction problem by getting people involved and interested, and the artwork is used on t-shirts, stickers and posters, and in greeting cards and books, to both publicize our cause and raise money for SAVE THE FROGS! amphibian conservation efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “We had a whole unit on this. The kids learned SO MUCH science along with the history of frogs all in the name of art!” Between 2009 and 2023 we received 23,293 frog art entries from 114 countries: Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Estonia, Eswatini, Finland, France, Gambia, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mexico, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Myanmar, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, North Macedonia, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Palestinian Territories, Panama, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tajikstan, Thailand, Trinidad & Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Uruguay, the USA, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Vietnam and Zimbabwe.

This was such an awesome idea and my students learned a lot. Their homeroom teachers were really pleased with all that they learned and now my students can’t stop talking about frogs and what they can do to help them.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n — Candace Greene, Sevilla West School, Phoenix, AZ<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Anybody! People of all ages, nationalities, and skill levels are encouraged to enter the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The SAVE THE FROGS! Art 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. We encourage students and teachers to get their art classes involved on Save The Frogs Day. We encourage amateur and professional artists and graphic designers to take part as well. And the more countries represented the better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Dear Dr. Kriger, Thank you for your important work to save our frogs! As a school librarian at an elementary school, I was delighted to come across your website, and held a schoolwide art contest patterned after yours. Our winner\u2019s work is enclosed, plus a few extras. The contest truly raised awareness among my students, and I know some of these kids will now have a greater respect for frogs and animals as a result.”<\/em> Frog art from 2012 SAVE THE FROGS!

OR<\/p>\n\n\n\n (b) the phrase savethefrogs.com OR<\/p>\n\n\n\n c) both SAVE THE FROGS! and savethefrogs.com (7) Submission of artwork constitutes your agreement to the Art Contest Terms & Conditions<\/a>. Please read these over, as they describe your rights to the submitted artwork as well as ours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n (8) On the entry form you must inform us how your art was created: If you use graphic design or AI software, please tell us the name(s) of the software you used (in the About Your Art section of the entry form).<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Your writing is art as well, so try to make the text artistic. Whatever text you put on your art, whether it be SAVE THE FROGS!, savethefrogs.com or a line of poetry, make it look nice, not like a last minute, hurried addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Please note that both SAVE THE FROGS! and savethefrogs.com are PLURAL, meaning the letter “S” must appear at the end of the word FROGS. We are NOT SAVE THE FROG! and we are NOT savethefrog.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Artwork may be hand-drawn or digitally produced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n – For hand-drawn art, take a great photo of it or scan it and submit it digitally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Your art can feature frogs, toads, salamander, newts or caecilians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Your art can be full-color or black & white (for example, one-color frog outlines of the type used for a coloring book). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Litoria caerulea frog art by Matthew Bryan, UK<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n – You can draw the SAVE THE FROGS! logo if you like…or you can opt to not include a logo at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – The possibilities are endless. Use your artistic license and enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n “A total of 700 students at my school participated. This was such an awesome idea and my students learned a lot. Their homeroom teachers were really pleased with all that they learned and now my students can’t stop talking about frogs and what they can do to help them.\u201c<\/em> Use your artistic license and do what you think is best, but bear in mind these suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n – No glitter please — it’s messy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n – No religious content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Follow ALL the instructions on the entry page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Whitespace does not look very appealing. We suggest putting color on the entire piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Do not put your frogs at the extreme edge of your art, as they may get chopped off during the scanning or printing process. Try to leave at least 0.25in (6.5mm) of “other art” such as leaves, grass, river etc…we would rather chop the river edge than the frog’s leg! The same goes for any writing on your art: don’t put it too near the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Mail-in entries can be any size you wish. We do though suggest that you stick with 8.5 x 11\u2033 or A4 paper unless you truly have a reason to go larger. Big art is harder for us to deal with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Have fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Thanks for all that you and your organization do for amphibians worldwide.\u201c <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n — Daryle Mishina, Art Teacher, Hawaii<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Frog World, Art by Abbey Salvo, Baltimore, MD. <\/i>2009 SAVE THE FROGS!
