2006 DNR Conservation License Plate Design Contest

[federline]

I just saw this - wouldn't it be nice if we got a FISH design for the third plate design?

http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/contests/license_plate.html

If there are fish artists out there, I'd ask that they consider submitting entries for the contest. so I can change out my deer plate for a fish plate! :-)

[Kevin Turner]

I'd love top have a Smallmouth option....

[nofishfisherman]

Maybe i will put my graphic design/studio art degree to use and see if I can come up with something.

Id like to see a walleye one, that would be sweet if they would show like when it comes down to the top ten drawings.

[SomethingFishy*]

Very cool, I currently have habitat plates.

[Northlander]

In Mn. its walleyes and thats what I would like to see on Mn. plates. When people come to Mn. to go fishing they want walleye. A Muskie may not be bad though.

[LEECH21]

Sounds kinda fun I might give it a shot.

[LMITOUT]

Not having the state fish (walleye for those who aren't sure) on the plates would be a travesty.

[DEADhead]

what would be wrong with a native brookie on a plate? they're a lot more colorful and pretty than a walleye. I think they taste better too

Also, a lot of their habitat is at risk in the SE due to current agricultural practices and development.

Nothing at all!!!

May the best artist win!

[DEADhead]

Randy, the only crummy thing about this contest is that I can't submit my brookie artwork as an entry since I'm on the ineligible list...

[LEECH21]

I gave it a try and sent one in with the state fish on it...a walleye. Come on, if its a state plate it should have our state fish on it! Had to overnight it to make it there on time.

I think it turned out really well. If I make it into the finals I'll need you fellow FM'er friends to lend some support on the on-line poll.

Leech21,

would it be possible for you to post a picture of it? I am interested to see how it turned out. When is the online poll?

[LEECH21]

Here it is. It lookes a lot better in person then from a scan. The left side is cut off a little because it didn't completely fit into my scanner. Tell me what you guys think!

[BIG ISLAND DUDE]

very cool. good luck

[LMITOUT]

Very nice! If they didn't limit it to 5 characters, I'd get one in a second.

[stmichael]

Very nice indeed!

Good luck!

[LEECH21]

Thanks for the complements fellas. The DNR sent me a letter saying that the final decision will be made towards the end of October.

[The_Duckslayer]

Looking good! When it comes up for a vote let us know... I'll give ya my vote. Have a good one and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

[LIGHTLINE]

CHANCES ARE THAT IT WOULD BE THE STATE FISH, WALLEYE.

NO HOPE FOR A SMALLIE

[LEECH21]

The letter I got from the DNR said that the final judging will be between Oct 23-27.

[LEECH21]

Not in the top six...you can see the finalists on the MN DNR site

[Captain B.R.K]

Take a look at the finalist

Critical Habitat License Plates

Hope you get a chance to add a vote!

[DTro]

Sorry, I think yours is better than all of those Leech.

Not to offend anyone if they designed one of them......I think they all stink.

Is that a walleye jumping out of the water???

I hope that's not supposed to be a Great Blue Heron, if so, it's the wrong color.

The Moose design is almost identical to the previous deer one.

ok that's enough negativity.

Sorry you didn't make it Leech

[Captain B.R.K]

I agree but since there has been a lot of hype about the timberwolf over the years, I have to admit that is a pretty cool design.
