We were a little skeptical when Spot said he wanted to go on a butterfly survey in the winter, but since he would melt by the time our actual surveys rolled around, we decided to humor him! Spot wants to be able to go on six butterfly surveys in the parks. Design a butterfly that Spot would like to find! You can make a real butterfly or make up your own new species!

For your butterfly's entry sheet, please give it a name and tell us a fun adaptation it has to survive an Ohio winter.

Butterflies will be turned in and featured in a Scavenger Hunt. Scavenger Hunt participants will cast votes for their favorite butterfly. Winners of the painting contest will be announced on February 27.

FIRST-TIME REGISTRANTS: If you are a Centerville/Washington Township resident, please enter Dayton as your city when creating an account. The system WILL NOT recognize you as a resident if you enter Centerville or Washington Township as your city.

Note:

Important Dates:
December 1 – 11: Pick-up plywood butterfly
December 15 – 22: Turn in painted butterfly
January 11 – February 22: Scavenger Hunt
February 27: Winners announced

Butterflies will be featured in the parks for one week during the scavenger hunt, then they will be returned to their original families.

Contest Rules:

Butterflies can be painted any color you wish. You provide the paint. The base coat will be white by default.

You cannot add things to your cutout. Only paint. This assists with the transport of the cutout. No glitter, please.

Butterflies need to be accompanied an entry sheet. Please give it a name and tell us a fun adaptation it has to survive an Ohio winter. It doesn't have to be more than 2 sentences!

The holes pre-drilled in the butterfly should not be covered up. That is how we will secure them in the parks.

Please label the Butterfly with your entry number on the back. Your number will be provided after registration is complete.

If you paint on both sides, please indicate which side is to be facing outward and judged. (Placing your number on the back will let us know which way is right!)

Votes will be cast by participants in the Scavenger Hunt. Only one vote per person will be counted. Those painting butterflies can participate in the Scavenger Hunt, but they and their household may not vote for their own design.

One plywood entry per household.

The top three winners from the votes will receive a medal and a prize.
The Staff Pick winner will also receive a medal and prize.
