Minnesota DNR Seeks Designs for Minnesota’s 2013 Migratory Waterfowl Stamp
OutdoorHub 07.30.12
Wildlife artists can submit entries for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) 2013 waterfowl stamp from Monday, Aug 20, through 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31.
The northern pintail is the only eligible species for depiction on the 2013 Minnesota Waterfowl Stamp. Other waterfowl species will not be accepted.
Artists are prohibited from using any photographic product as part of their finished entries. Any entry that contains photographic products will be disqualified.
Entries will be accepted via mail and in person at DNR headquarters, 500 Lafayette Road in St. Paul. Mailed entries should be addressed to 2013 Migratory Waterfowl Stamp Contest, DNR Fish and Wildlife Division, Box 20, 500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul, MN 55155-4020.
Designs should be securely wrapped and enclosed in an envelope or other container. The words “Migratory Waterfowl Stamp” should be clearly marked on outside of the container. Late entries will not be accepted.
The contest, which offers no prizes, is open to Minnesota residents only. Winning artists usually issue limited edition prints of the artwork and retain proceeds. Revenue from stamp sales is dedicated to waterfowl management-related activities.
A contest entry form and reproduction rights agreement, which grants the DNR the right to use the design for the stamp image and other promotional, educational and informational purposes related to waterfowl, must be signed and submitted with the design.
Judging will take place at 2 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 6, at DNR headquarters.
Complete contest criteria and information are available from the DNR Information Center, 500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul, MN 55155, and online at www.mndnr.gov/contests.
