Butterflies are symbolic of the beauty, inspiration and determination of Chickasaw women throughout history.

The Dynamic Women of the Chickasaw Nation Butterfly Art Contest invites young Chickasaw women, ages 14 to 18, to submit original artwork of a butterfly.

The winning butterfly will be used as the artwork for the next Dynamic Women of the Chickasaw Nation Conference.

Artists may use paint, drawing supplies or collage materials (no glitter) to create a 2D art piece. The actual image of the butterfly must be between five and 20 inches. Artwork must be submitted on pre-cut art paper, canvas or art board proportional to the butterfly. Artwork that does not meet requirements will be excluded from judging.

The winning artist will receive a $500 cash award and winner’s certificate.

For all requirements, see guidelines and entry form.
