2027 SAVE THE FROGS! Art Contest

SAVE THE FROGS! Art Contest

SAVE THE FROGS! invites artists of all ages, from every country, to enter the SAVE THE FROGS! Art Contest and help raise awareness for amphibians. It is free to enter and runs year round.

About the contest

The SAVE THE FROGS! Art Contest runs year round: enter at any time. Entries made after November 1 go into the following year's contest.

Amphibian populations worldwide are in the midst of a mass extinction crisis, yet many people are completely unaware! We need your help in getting the word out: we encourage all nature lovers to seek out their inner frog artist and participate in the SAVE THE FROGS! Art Contest!

People of all ages, nationalities, and skill levels are encouraged to enter, and we hope all schools will draw frog art on Save The Frogs Day (April 28th every year)! Students, teachers, amateur and professional artists and graphic designers are all welcome.

The contest raises awareness of the amphibian extinction problem by getting people involved and interested, and the artwork is used on t-shirts, stickers and posters, and in greeting cards and books, to both publicize our cause and raise money for SAVE THE FROGS! amphibian conservation efforts.

Between 2009 and 2025 we received 28,011 frog art entries from 121 countries. The 2025 contest alone received 2,151 entries from 1,998 participants in 72 countries. View the 2025 winners.
