Bird House Contest

Call for UNIQUE Entries!

Click Here for Entry Form and contest guidelines

Nature lovers, designers, artists, craftspeople, and others who give a hoot about birds are invited to display their one of a kind hand-crafted birdhouses or birdfeeders at the River Parkway Trust's Seventh Annual Exhibit.

All living things benefit from the River Parkway Trust's work to create and protect a 6000-acre, 22-mile parkway. Show your support by creating a birdhouse or birdfeeder and donating it to our summer-long display and silent auction. Sales of contest entries will benefit Community Programs at the Coke Hallowell Center for River Studies. Blue ribbons will be presented on April 17 at 11:00am following our Pancake Breakfast.
