Look at that gorgeous calligraphy by Betsy Dunlap. The poster is gorgeous too in partnership with New Leaf Paper and PBM Graphics - all green paper with 100% post consumer waste, processed chlorine free, and manufactured with electricity offset with Green-e renewable energy. I feel virtuous.

The competition is designed to encourage students (and teachers) to observe and appreciate native wildlife as an inspiration for art and science.
“Ideas can be found in nature, in your backyard, and even inside the pages of Wildlife in North Carolina,” said Michael Humphries, managing editor for the magazine. “Each entry is a chance to learn about the many different species that call North Carolina home.”
