Designs Due August 12 for Minnesota Trout and Salmon Stamp Contest

It's time for wildlife artists across the Northland to get creative and design the 2017 Minnesota Trout and Salmon Stamp.

The Minnesota DNR  is accepting applications from Monday, August 1 until 4 p.m. on Friday, August 12.

The trout and salmon stamp validation is sold for $10 along with fishing licenses, and 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. Brown trout designs are not eligible this year.

Photographs, or any photographic products, are not allowed to be used on contest entries.
