Each year the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) partners with Wildlife Forever to conduct the State Fish Art Contest in which students depict a state fish and write a one-page essay to compete for scholarships and other prizes. Entries must be postmarked by March 31, 2013, and mailed to Wildlife Forever, 2700 Freeway Blvd., No. 1000, Brooklyn Center, MN, 55430.
 
Artists can choose to depict either of Alabama’s state fish: the largemouth bass or the fighting tarpon. Participants can also choose to draw state-fish from other states. In addition to the artwork, all of the artists, except those in grades 1-3, are required to write a one-page essay with facts about the fish, its natural habitat, and the importance of that habitat.
 
All artwork is judged by Wildlife Forever, which also handles contest details and awards prizes, such as scholarships, art supplies and fishing gear.

People may watch “Glee” and wonder if that is truly what today’s choral students are actually up to.

Next Friday and Saturday at the Montgomery Performing Arts Centre downtown, everyone is invited to see real show choirs in performance and competition.  The “Capital City Classic” has been a showcase for choral programs from all over the country over the past few years, and is hosted by the music department at Tallassee High School.

Tallassee’s choral directors are Jerry Cunningham and Adam Moxley.
