GBBO is hosting an art contest- now accepting submissions!

LeConte’s Thrasher

2024 is for Thrashers!

Show off your creativity by submitting a design for the 2024 Bird-a-thon T-shirt. GBBO wants to see your take! The winning design will be the front graphic of the official 2024 Bird-a-thon T-shirt! T-shirts will be given out to each participating birder in the Bird-a-thon and available for sale. All designs will be displayed below upon submission and details on voting will be announced on April 30th. All funds raised from the 2024 Bird-a-thon will go towards Desert Thrasher research and conservation. GBBO encourages thrasher designs, but that is not a requirement. All birds count in the Bird-a-thon!

The deadline for submissions is April 30th.
