Old Bird Inc. hosted an awards program for student art related to its nocturnal bird migration study. This art opportunity was open to students associated with art classes at schools participating in the bird migration study.

Awards were granted to school art programs for the gallery of student artwork they submited. Each school selected the student artwork to represent their entry. A school's body of artwork was ranked by level of student engagement and creativity on the topic specified in the student art guidelines. In addition, five high school and five middle school students whose art stood out among all the entries were awarded individually, with high school and middle school artworks judged & awarded separately. Deadline for submitting art entries was Friday May 1, 2026. Winners were announced May 19, 2026.
