Once again, the Arkansas Wildlife Federation (AWF) and Creative Ideas have come together to promote wildlife education through the arts in the annual Wildlife of Arkansas Student Art Contest. For the 2021 contest, students from kindergarten through 12
th grade will submit artwork online through a portal on the AWF website, www.arwild.org.
For eight years, the Wildlife of Arkansas Student Art Contest has encouraged students in grades K-12 to explore and celebrate Arkansas’ wildlife. The shift to this online submission process will allow students, teachers and parents the ability to submit a photograph of the artwork online, rather than mail the original artwork in to be scored. This new process has many benefits including expanding to new schools and areas of the state that may not have had the funding to mail the original artwork.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ Many more Arkansas-Mississippi Delta region parents want afterschool programs for their children than are able to access them, according to a household survey commissioned by the Afterschool Alliance and released today. It finds that, by overwhelming margins, parents express strong, broad-based support for afterschool programs. But unmet demand – the percentage of children in the region not currently in an afterschool program whose parents say they would be enrolled if a program were available to them – is high, with families citing cost as a barrier to enrolling their children. As a result, for every child in an afterschool program in the Delta region today, three more are waiting to get in.
