Contest Rules
The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, in conjunction with its corporate partners, is sponsoring an artwork contest for the design of the Young Angler's Licence.

All entries must include:
- a completed entry form;
- the artwork; and
- a one-page composition (please include your name and address on your composition).
Entry forms must be mailed to the address below (e-mail entries will not be accepted). Entry forms must be completed, signed by a parent or guardian, and glued to the back of the original artwork.

Portfolios will be judged on the quality of the artwork. The artwork must call attention to the official fish species (brook trout or lake sturgeon). The fish must be depicted in its natural habitat.
All artwork must be the contestant's original, hand-done creation. Photographs and computer-generated artwork will not be accepted.
All artwork must be horizontal, 8.5" by 11" without a mat, frame, cover sheet or border. Art techniques may include scratch-board, pointillism, acrylics, oil, dry brush, watercolour, pencil crayon, crosshatch, collage, linoleum printing or crayon. All artwork must not exceed 1/4" in total thickness.
Please ensure that your artwork has a suitable design for clear presentation of logos, titles, numbers and personal information. If submitted artwork does not meet these requirements, it will not be considered. You can view the existing 2006 Young Angler's Licence by clicking on the link below.
No lettering, signatures or initials may appear on the front of the design. Any artwork with such identifying characteristics will be disqualified and eliminated from the competition.
Completed portfolios must include a typed one-page composition describing the fish you have drawn, its habitat and ways to sustain that fish for future generations. The student's name and address must be included with the composition.
