Crane-inspired scholarship contest open to high school seniors
The Colorado Crane Conservation Coalition is inviting high school seniors in Routt and Moffat counties to submit an original piece of written or visual art inspired by the Rocky Mountain population of greater sandhill cranes.
There are two categories for the Crane-Inspired Creative Arts Scholarship Contest, including the written arts — a nonfictional essay or fictional story of 750-1,500 words or a group of three poems — and the visual arts — a painting, sketch, photograph or digital art.
The work must be original and accurately reflect the physical characteristics, behavior and habitat of sandhill cranes. The deadline is Feb. 16. For more info, check with a school counselor or go to ColoradoCranes.org/creative-arts-scholarship-contest.
The first-place winner in each category will receive a $3,000 scholarship, and the second-place winners will receive $1,500 scholarships. An honorable mention winner from any of the categories will receive a $1,000 scholarship. The scholarship awards are contingent on the winner’s acceptance into a continuing education institution.
