2025 Pollinator Week – Art Contest

Celebrate Pollinator Week with Our 2025 Children’s Art Contest

Pollinator Week 2025 is coming up, and Eastside Exterminators is excited to bring back our Children’s Art Contest for a second year. After the incredible talent we saw last summer, we’re proud to once again celebrate the pollinators that make our world bloom—with help from Washington’s youngest artists.

This year’s theme, “Pollinators Weave Connections,” encourages children to explore the deep ties between pollinators, nature, and our daily lives. From bees and butterflies to hummingbirds and bats, pollinators are the quiet forces behind vibrant gardens, healthy crops, and thriving ecosystems.

We invite kids and teens from across Washington State to create and share original artwork that honors these essential creatures.
