MADISON - Wisconsin high school students have until April 13, 2016 to
submit entries for the 2017 Wisconsin state park sticker design
contest. The contest is open to all high school age students (ninth
through twelfth grades) attending public, private or parochial schools
in Wisconsin. The winning design will be displayed on more than
265,000 vehicles.
The design must be the artist's original creation and cannot be copied
or duplicated from previously published art, including photographs,
clip art or electronic graphic images. Photographs or photo
manipulations are not accepted. Contest rules, a design template and
entry form are available by searching the Department of Natural
Resources website, dnr.wi.gov, for keyword "contest."

The winning design for the 2016 Wisconsin State Parks admission
sticker was designed by Rachael Wirth, a senior at Appleton North High
School.

Beginning this year, electronic submissions will be accepted as well
as hard copy submissions. Students can submit their artwork in one of
the two following ways:

Entries may be sent electronically via email.

and .eps) to [email protected].

Entries may be mounted on an 8-by-10-inch white matte or poster board
and covered by clear acetate (or plastic wrap which is secured by tape
on the backside) for protection. Students should not laminate the
design. The entry form must be securely attached to the back. Each
