Subject: Extended deadline for BugFest Illustration Contest

 
NC Museum of Natural Sciences has extended the deadline on the
BugFest Illustration Contest
BugFest, the largest bug-centric event in the country, will be held Saturday, 
September 11 from 9 am to 7 pm, and this year features aquatic bugs. GLOW: 
Living Lights explores the realm of bioluminescence, from the familiar firefly 
to the alien-looking angler fish. The exhibit runs through September 12, 2010.
We invite you to illustrate your best and most realistic version of a 
bioluminescent or aquatic bug in its natural surroundings. Judging will be based 
on artistic merit and scientific accuracy.
Three winners from each of five age groups will receive a prize. 
All entrants receive one free children's admission to “GLOW”.
Illustrations will now be accepted through August 31, 2010. Winning entries will 
be displayed at BugFest on September 11, with the Grand Prize winner selected on 
site by event attendees.
Submission forms are available online (PDF coming soon) and at the Museum Store 
[919.733.7450 x369].
