Trout Stamp designs wanted
Designs being accepted for
Minnesota Trout and Salmon Stamp
Wildlife
artists can submit entries for the 2018 Minnesota Trout and Salmon Stamp
through 4 p.m. Friday, July 28, according to the Department of Natural Resources.
Anglers
can purchase the trout and salmon stamp validation with their fishing license
for an additional $10. For an extra 75 cents, purchasers can receive the
pictorial stamp. It is also sold as a collectible for $10.75. Revenue from
stamp sales is dedicated to trout and salmon management and habitat work.
Trout
or salmon must be the primary focus of the design, though other fish species
may be included in the design if they are used to depict common interaction
between species or are common inhabitants of Minnesota’s lakes and rivers.
Brook trout designs are not eligible this year.
Artists
are prohibited from using any photographic product as part of their finished
entries. Winning artists usually issue limited edition prints of the artwork
and retain proceeds. Judging will take place Thursday, Aug. 3, at DNR
headquarters, 500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul.
