The Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) has opened the Texas division of Wildlife Forever’s 2027 Fish Art Contest for entries. The Texas division of the contest will celebrate 20 years in 2027 thanks to the vision of Mr. Richard M. (Dick) Hart, a conservation leader who helped bring the program to the state. Mr. Hart was a successful business and family man with a passion for fishing, conservation, and TFFC.
The Fish Art Contest is accepting entries until Feb. 28 as part of an international conservation education program designed to foster youth interest in fish, fisheries, and fishing.
“The Fish Art contest is just one way we can help our students connect with the outdoors,” said Darrel Malone, education and interpretation coordinator at TFFC. “As they research their chosen fish species and begin to learn about its habitat, they begin to find a personal connection to their fish. This connection can help inspire the future stewards of our natural resources. The Fish Art Contest is more than just drawing a fish; it is establishing a bond with the outdoors.”
