The George Montgomery/NRA Youth Wildlife Art Contest offers young artists interested in hunting and wildlife an outlet to use their creative talent, practice artistic techniques, and refine wildlife identification skills through the creation of original works. 

The NRA Youth Wildlife Art Contest began in 1987.

The NRA does this contest to encourage youth to nurture their interest for the visual arts, hunting, and wildlife conservation. It also reinforces the positive effects of hunting and wildlife conservation with the public at large.

Submissions of original artwork must be sent to NRA NHQ for judging. Please include a copy of the entry form with your submission.
