REGION- The Huron-Manistee National Forests will start accepting entries for the 2025
Kirtland’s Warbler Young Artists’ Calendar Contest from grades K-8 starting January 1, 2025.
A 15-month calendar shows the top 18 entries on its pages October 2025 – December 2026.
Entries to the Kirtland’s Warbler 2025 Young Artists’ Calendar Contest must demonstrate an understanding of the Kirtland’s warbler or any other creatures that live in the Great Lakes region’s unique jack pine forests, or its winter habitat in The Bahamas.
Contest entry forms, rules, deadlines, submission instructions and judging criteria can be found on the Kirtland’s Warbler 2025 Young Artists’ Calendar Contest webpage linked on the Forests’ Website.
The contest’s intent is to teach children about the rare Kirtland’s warbler and its habitat. Donations given for the calendars directly support the US Forest Service Kirtland’s warbler educational efforts and this contest.
All entries must be submitted no later than February 28 to the Mio Ranger District Office. Artwork entries
