The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has announced in a news release that the agency, in partnership with Wildlife Forever, has announced the winners of the Florida State Fish Art Contest this year. FWC notes that students in kindergarten through 12th grade submitted their artwork in this free contest for a chance to win state and national honors, and prizes. This program inspires creativity while encouraging the next generation of anglers and conservationists.

The top two Florida student artists, selected by the FWC, per category (freshwater and saltwater), in four grade brackets will advance to the 25th edition of the National Competition to be judged for top prizes including Best of Show. "Congratulations to our winners!" indicated the agency.

Grades 10-12
Winners: Charlie Sasso and Jessica Neef
Runners-Up: Louisa Elena Elias-Sowers and Isabella Jimenez

Grades 7-9
Winners: Georgia Hunnewell and Emma Nemes
Runners-Up: Grace Wang and Emily Ganee

Grades 4-6

Runners-Up: Hannah Wang and Hailey Chen

Grades K-3

"The creativity of these young artists truly shines through with this remarkable competition, a fantastic way to involve young individuals in fishing and conservation," said FWC Commissioner Sonya Rood, in a news release. "We are consistently astounded by the passion evident in every student's depiction of both fresh- and saltwater species."

FWC reminds students that Florida will host the contest again next year, so stay tuned for more information. To learn more about the Florida Fish Art Contest and how you can participate next year, visit the website at MyFWC.com/FishArt.
