The Bird Dog Foundation’s Annual Youth Art Contest for grades K-12 is held every year and has become exceptionally well known with local understudies. The program is accessible for understudies of schools or home schools that are inside a 75-mile sweep of the National Bird Dog Museum in Grand Junction, TN. Through this yearly Sporting Dog Art Contest, the Bird Dog Foundation tries to teach and motivate youthful craftsmen by animating them to practice their unique, innovative flows on subjects identifying with sporting dogs, game birds, and waterfowl as well wildlife and its various forms of natural habitat.

The cutoff time for entries is January 15 of every year. The Annual Art Contest Award Ceremony doesn’t have a set yearly date and will be declared after champs are picked every year. All understudies Grades K through 12, Resource, CDC, Public, Private, and Home Schools inside the neighbourhood (estimated fifty-mile sweep) to Grand Junction, TN, are qualified. Representatives or authorities of The Bird Dog Foundation or family members of current representatives or authorities are not qualified to participate in the challenge. Understudies who participate in the challenge should be U.S. residents.

The National Bird Dog Museum is devoted to the conservation and propagation of bird dogs, field trials, and hunting customs. Situated in Grand Junction, Tennessee, an hour east of metropolitan Memphis and within driving distance of Nashville, the gallery houses a vault of workmanship, photography, and memorabilia about field preliminaries, shooting sports, and more than forty types of bird dogs, including pointing, flushing, and recovering varieties.
