14th Annual Young Illustrators Challenge

The Young Illustrator's Challenge (YIC) is a Long Island-wide illustration competition for students, judged by a panel of professional artists, illustrators, and curators.

​If your kids draw a picture titled “The Great Outdoors,” there are many different ideas inspired by nature and the outdoors. Here are some sample ideas:

Walking Animals
This picture shows a variety of animals (deer, rabbits, foxes, etc.) walking through the forest. The surrounding area can be lush trees, flowers, and the warm feeling of sunlight shining through the forest.

Hiking Family
