Cast your vote!

We invite you to vote for the artwork you most want to see sold on merchandise in the Be Wild Gift Shop. Through our Art Contest program, we hope to spark interest in learning about the immense biodiversity found in Alaska and inspire creativity through exploration of the natural world. This year we had over 100 students from across the United States submit artwork that exemplified our theme “Animals of Alaska: Sky, Sea, and Land”. Through guest voting we will have an artist selected from each age category (k-5, 6-8, 9-12) to have their artwork printed on t-shirts and be awarded a scholarship prize.

How to vote:

Preview the showcase below.
Choose one piece of art from each of the three categories below.
Comment the number listed below the piece of art on the designated Facebook or Instagram post.

Please only cast one vote for each age category. Voting will be open until the end of the day on October 31^st. These works of art are also currently on display in the Be Wild Gift Shop until October 31^st. Votes cast in person are worth double a vote cast through social media!

Interested in participating in AWCC’s art contest next year? We will begin accepting art submissions in August of 2025. Keep an eye on our website for more details.
