The contest announcement and application, with all entry information details on required artwork, rules, terms, and conditions, are available on the Division of Forestry & Wildlife website, www.hawaii.gov/dlnr/dofaw, and can be obtained at any DOFAW office. Entries for the conservation stamp may depict any game mammal, and for the bird stamp may depict a list of specific game birds found in the contest announcement.
All entries are due by May 7. Each of the two winners will receive a maximum stipend of $1,000. Funds from sales of the stamps go into the state Wildlife Revolving Fund to support game animal populations and habitat in the state.
