Join the 2009 WMBD drawing competition!

Following the great success of the WMBD drawing competition in 2007, we have decided to continue the tradition and to launch a new round in the form of an art competition!

Arm yourself with pencils, markers, brushes or any other art tools and share your impressions on how man-made structures can disturb bird migration and how their impact can be avoided. We are looking forward to receiving your pictures!

Anyone at the age of 16 or under is eligible for participation. Please send your pictures to the address below; the deadline for submission is 1 August 2009.

Remember that birds need your help so do not hesitate, use your imagination! Plenty of interesting prizes are awaiting the winners!

To learn more about this year's theme "Barriers to migration" click on our special "Barni & Max" pages below (will be available on 9-10 May 2009):
