Ask Wyoming Game and Fish

Q: How do I enter the Wyoming Conservation Stamp Art Show contest?

A: If you’re an artist with a passion for wildlife, we want you to submit your best original Colorado River Cutthroat Trout depiction to the 2020 Conservation Stamp Art show. The rulebook is online now, and you can begin sending your pieces Jan. 2, 2019 to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department Headquarters. With the art, you must submit an entry form and a $30 non-refundable fee. The winning piece will be featured on the 2020 Conservation Stamp and receive a $3,500 payment; the artwork will also become property of Game and Fish. More prizes are available for second through fifth place.

Artwork can be multi-colored or black and white. It must consist of a two-dimensional design, meaning it must be some form of ink, pencil or paint. Each piece of art will be carefully evaluated by Game and Fish biologists for anatomical accuracy of the Colorado River Cutthroat Trout and ecological correctness of any habitat.
