For those artistically inclined and interested in dinosaurs, the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History is accepting entries for its Global Millennium Dinosaur Art Contest. Entries are due by Jan. 31, 2000. The contest is open to dinosaur enthusiasts from age 5 to adults.
Dinosaurs are exciting.
Children have always been fascinated by dinosaurs, but in the past few years there have been so many new fossils discovered that many adults have become intrigued by dinosaur studies. This is the 11th exhibit of dinosaur art sponsored by the museum. The dinosaur art contest is Oklahoma's largest art contest, receiving an average of 3,000 entries and occasionally as many as 8,000. While most of the entries come from Oklahoma, the museum has received entries from other states and from many foreign countries. The Dinosaur Art Contest has been one of the most successful programs the museum has ever developed.
