NJ Trout Stamp 2005 youth art contest - Hutch00 - 03-18-2004
The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife, the Partnership for Youth
and Wildlife Conservation and Trout Unlimited are cosponsoring the first
trout stamp art contest for young artists between the ages of 13 and 18.
Each young artist will receive a certificate in recognition of his or
her participation. The winning entry will receive a $1,000.00 cash prize
donated by the Partnership for Youth and Conservation and Trout
Unlimited. In addition, their artwork will be used for the 2005 NJ
Division of Fish and Wildlife's trout stamp which over 60,000 fishermen
and women purchase each year. In addition, the winning artist and other
selected artists will be required to participate in an evening art
exhibition which will be held in January of 2006.
Submissions will be judged by a committee made up of representatives of
the three cosponsors and members of the wildlife art community.
Selection of the winning entry will be based upon originality,
execution and the submission's relevance to New Jersey trout fishing.
Entries can be, but are not limited to, New Jersey trout fishing scenes,
species of trout found in New Jersey (rainbow, brook, brown and lake
trout), and pictures of equipment used in trout fishing (fishing flies,
tackle, etc.).
The original design shall be no smaller than 8 1/8'' high by 10'' wide
or no larger than 16 1/4'' high by 20'' wide. The design must be in full
color and must proportionally reduce to a stamp size of 1" wide by
13/16" high.
The winning artist will be required to assign all reproduction rights
and copyrights to the State of New Jersey, Division of Fish and
Wildlife. All submissions will be returned to the artist after the
completion of the contest. Do not submit designs that have been
reproduced for other stamps or commercial ventures.
Interested young artists should submit their original artwork to Steve
Toth at
NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife, 501 East State St., P.O. Box 400,
Trenton, NJ 08625. The winner will be called, so please submit your
