NAVS' Art for Animals contest is an opportunity for artists of all skills and ages to create images that inspire others to extend compassion, respect and justice to all animals.

 

This year marks our 31st annual competition, and we’re once again looking for fresh perspectives to illustrate NAVS’ mission of ending the exploitation of animals used in science. Companion animals fill our lives with friendship and devotion, while animals in the wild inspire us with their natural beauty. Whether paying tribute to an animal in your life or appreciating animals in the world around you, Art for Animals provides an opportunity to get creative and give a voice to those who cannot speak for themselves.

 

Cash prizes will be given to First, Second and Third Place winners, one Youth (age 12 and under) winner, and one Best in Show winner. This year, we’re also introducing a special Fans’ Choice Award that will be chosen by our friends and followers on social media.

 

Submissions may be digitally-created artwork or digital reproductions of original paintings, illustrations or photographs. Entries should be submitted via email to art@navs.org. Physical artwork cannot be accepted.
