We’re looking for drawings, paintings, sculpture, collage, or whatever format helps you express yourself.

To enter the contest, you join the kids art contest group (and this year, the right age group) on Flickr and just upload your entries. Each child can submit up to 3 artworks. Teachers can upload student’s work and parents can upload their children’s work. If you are in a country where you cannot view Flickr, you can email your digital image to Frogs Are Green along with the child’s name, age and country, and we will add the image to the group.
