Sketch for Survival 2025

Sketch for Survival 2025 – Results

Now in its ninth year, Sketch for Survival has evolved from a small idea into a global movement for wildlife conservation. Through the power of art, we’ve helped shine a spotlight on endangered species and threatened habitats around the world. Thanks to your continued support, creativity, and passion, the initiative has now raised over half a million dollars—directly funding impactful conservation projects in more than 30 countries.

In 2025, we received over 2,500 entries from young artists around the world for the Junior competition, with more than 50 schools taking part. We’re also thrilled to welcome new participating countries this year — including Moldova, Panama, Hungary, and Turkmenistan — bringing the total number of nationalities involved in our Sketch for Survival initiatives to an incredible 119 🌍.

Stage One of the Junior selection process is now complete. After much deliberation (and plenty of head scratching!), our longlist has been compiled. Huge congratulations to all the talented young artists whose work made it through.

Stage Two will take place in person with our panel of judges, and finalists in each age group will be announced on 4 September.

The senior competition closes on 30 June.

Thank you to everyone who took part this year. You can find results below, and please visit our Event Calendar for details about upcoming exhibitions and events.
