Help Us Catch A Keeper! 10th Anniversary Edition

For the past decade, students who participate in our Sturgeon Science School presentations have been challenged to submit an entry in our Sturgeon Art Contest that showcases their knowledge of the threatened Lake Sturgeon by means of art, song, or poetry. To celebrate the contest's tenth anniversary, we're awarding three grand-prize winners the rare opportunity to hand-release a baby sturgeon back into the wild during a special beachside ceremony on June 3 at Blue Water Sturgeon Festival! We've narrowed nearly 700 entries down to ten finalists and need your help selecting the three winners, who will also receive a prize package. Vote for your favorite Sturgeon Art piece by virtual donations or in person with pocket change during the festival from 10am to 1pm. Winners will be formally announced on stage at 2:00 pm. Winners do not need to be present to claim their prize package but need to be at the festival in order to release a sturgeon. Vote as often and as many times as you like!

VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITE 2023 FINALIST!
