Introducing GSCSA's Creative Critter Contest
We're delighted to announce the launch of the Creative Critter Contest! To enter, Girl Scouts must embark on a creative endeavor featuring our upcoming product mascots: the Grizzly Bear and/or the Black Footed Ferret.
Submissions can be either a piece of creative writing (i.e., short story, poetry) OR a piece of artwork (i.e., drawing, collage, sculpture). Only 1 entry per contestant.
The contest will be judged by a group of GSCSA staff, including our very own published author, Lucy Branam. There will be two winners overall, one for a creative writing entry and one for an artwork entry. The winners of this contest will be featured in next year’s Fall Product and Cookie Guides and will receive a $25 GSCSA Shop credit.
Additional Entry Details:
- What we are looking for: Work from passionate creators who can dream and design great, compelling characters, and tell fascinating stories via whatever medium they choose. So do whatever style you want—surprise us!
- Entry must be original to the Girl Scout who is submitting (no A.I. use; no use of clipart or stock images).
- For artwork entries, please tell us what medium(s) you used (i.e. acrylic paint, collage with found objects, etc.).
- Maximum word count of 3,000 words for creative writing entries.
- Creative writing pieces must be in English.
Please email all entries to Product@GirlScoutCSA.org by March 16, 2026, to be considered.
