Each contestant may submit up to three entries with a fee structure of: $15 for one entry, $20 for two and $30 for three. Proceeds help fund game bird and waterfowl research and projects.

To enter, contestants must mail their designs with required fees and forms to be received by November 3. The contest is open to state residents and nonresidents.
