The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) began selling hard collector’s license cards last year.  These optional collectible cards allow license-holders to carry all of their active annual licenses on one long-lasting card that fits right in a wallet.  These collector cards will feature new artwork each year from the state’s very own outdoor enthusiasts.

LDWF is looking for amateur or professional artists or photographers who love the Louisiana outdoors to submit iconic Louisiana outdoor artwork and photographs to be featured on this year’s hard license cards. They are looking for user-submitted, original artwork or photographs falling into the following categories Wildlife/Hunting, Fish/Fishing, and Scenic/Other to be featured. Photographs or artwork may be submitted in digital format.

To participate, simply click the link below, enter contact information, and upload image(s) by February 15.
