IPM Insect Art Contest - Join in the fun!

Submitted by Terry Roberts

The K-State Research and Extension Pesticide Safety and IPM Program is hosting its annual insect-themed art contest, open to all ages and skill levels in Kansas! This year, the theme is "By the Light of the Moon: Insects at Night."

The goal is to explore why and how insects are active or inactive at night, then create artwork that fits the contest theme. Art may be a drawing or painting, digital art, or a 3-D piece such as sculpture, stained glass or other media.

There are five age categories in which 1st - 3rd place will be awarded:

  • Kindergarten - 2nd grade
  • 3rd grade - 5th grade
  • 6th grade - 8th grade
  • High school
  • Adult

Entries must be received or postmarked before April 15, 2025.
