Calling for bluebird art, music, videos, poetry, prose, and more for the 2021
Bluebird Parade
for Foster Children
"Bluebird Kids" by Cynthia Burke
Our goal is to have one original bluebird artwork to represent each unique child in foster care in our community. Right now, that number is over 200. The Bluebird Parade will be held online in May for National Foster Care Month.

Your bluebird can be a painting, sculpture, wood, fabric, glass - any medium you like. You can compose a bluebird song - or create a video - or show us your bluebird in a poem or prose. Just get it to us by May 7 and we'll post it on our Bluebird Project website.

On May 10, when all the bluebird art is posted, the community will be invited to vote for their favorites. So spread the word! Share your bluebird with friends and family because the three bluebirds with the most votes will win prizes!
PRIZES
FIRST - $200 Amazon Gift Card
SECOND - $100 Amazon Gift Card

PLUS RAFFLE PRIZES: Everyone who submits a bluebird will have a chance to win one of many raffle prizes. These prizes are possible thanks to our generous sponsor, the Kiwanis Club of Charlottesville...
