Calling all young artists! Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary is excited to launch our very first Young Artist Colouring Contest, open to youth ages 6–12.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Pick up or print off the contest colouring sheet.
  2. Turn it into your own unique work of art using any medium you like.
  3. Answer the question on the sheet: Why do wolves and wolfdogs matter to you?
  4. Drop off, mail or email your finished piece at the Sanctuary by September 29th.

Three finalists will be announced on October 2nd, and their entries will go to an online vote. The winner will receive a free Sanctuary Walk for themselves and a guest, plus a wolfdog gift basket! The contest is open to all kids ages 6–12; however, the prize basket must be picked up in person at the Sanctuary.

We can’t wait to see the amazing creations from our young artists. Have fun and let your imagination run wild!
