In April, a distinguished panel of judges including FWC Commissioner Sonya Rood and FWC staff from the Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management, the Division of Marine Fisheries Management and the Office of Community Relations helped select this year’s state and national winners. Along with state honors, students also competed for several unique award categories that included the Guy Harvey Award and the Fish Migration Award. Some artists also competed for the Fish Make You Smarter Award by submitting an essay. Digital images of art and essay submissions in both low and high resolution are available upon request.
