The votes are in, so let the pant hooting begin!

Auction results: All six original chimpanzee masterpieces featured in our Chimpanzee Art Contest were auctioned off on

eBay from November 4 until November 14, 2013, and raised more than $5,300. Net proceeds will benefit the North

American Primate Sanctuary Alliance.

Contest results: After tallying more than 27,000 public votes, The Humane Society of the United States announced the

winners of our Chimpanzee Art Contest on August 29, 2013.

Receiving the most public votes was artwork by Brent from Chimp Haven. Second place went to artwork by Cheetah

from Save the Chimps. In third place was artwork by Ripley from Center for Great Apes. For the judged prize,

Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, selected Cheetah’s

artwork. Prizes were in the form of grants to the sanctuaries.

We would also like to congratulate Jenny from Primate Rescue Center, Jamie from Chimpanzee Sanctuary Northwest,

and Patti from Chimps, Inc. for their truly amazing works of art. Each sanctuary received a $500 grant regardless

of whether a voting prize was won.
