Art And Photo Contest Opens For New Indiana DNR License Cards

June 25, 2024 at 9:17 p.m.


Hoosiers can submit their art and photos to serve as the background artwork for new durable cards for hunting, fishing and trapping licenses for next year.
From July 1 through Aug. 2, Hoosiers are encouraged to submit up to two of their Indiana-based, nature and wildlife-themed artworks to [email protected]. All 2-D art mediums (i.e., photography, painting, drawing, graphic design, etc.) are eligible, with the exception of art generated by artificial intelligence. The artist’s name and city will be credited on the cards.
Four entries will be selected to be printed on licenses next year.
The full list of contest guidelines is at events.IN.gov/event/DFWCardContest.
The new durable license cards are expected to be available in early 2025. Once the program is launched, anyone who purchases an Indiana hunting, fishing, trapping or combo license will have the option of ordering their license in that form for a nominal fee to be added to the total license fee.
The durable cards will resemble the style of a credit card and be able to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. License holders will be able to choose which of the four selected artworks they would like to have on the front of their license card. The current printable licenses will continue to be available at no extra cost.
