Wisconsin Phases Out Trout Stamp Competition

I just heard that the WDNR has phased out the yearly Trout Stamp Competition for 2011. Is this true with the other stamps?

My dad use to collect the old stamps and have them in a shadow box.

They were always beautiful.

You will still need to purchase the stamp for trout but it just isn't going to be the same. All it will be now is a computer generated notation on your license.

The trout regulations pamphlet typically has the trout stamp winner on the cover.

thats very unfortunate. Chalk it up to the further mis-management from our DNR. Just another reason to take my money out of state.

That is very sad, the stamp has always been a good way to get some great art out. Hope that doesnt become a trend nationwide.
Many artists are probably thinking the same thing.

I personally would enjoy seeing the WDNR "phased out and started over with conservation minded personal. ;)

submitted 30 photos to the state to consider for the cover of the trout regulations.
They picked one of mine. It is at the printer.

When I was a judge a couple years back for one of the trout stamp competition ,
I was told by WDNR employees that the Trout Stamp Contest would be phased
out.

I left my name/number and email address and told them if they wanted to use any of my photos for the cover
of the Trout Fishing Rules Pamphlet they should contact me . They contacted me three weeks ago. The 2011/2012 cover of
the Wisconsin Trout Regulations Pamphlet will have one of my photos gracing it.
