Section V-311 - 1989 Louisiana Waterfowl Conservation Stamp Artist Agreement

1. If my original art work is selected as one of the top designs in the final judging, I agree to submit a complete and detailed production and marketing plan for the prints and stamps to the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries within 45 days after notification. The department's guidelines for the production and marketing plan are attached. The top finalists will then be evaluated again, and an overall winning entry selected.

2. Upon selection of my original design and associated production and marketing plan as the winning entry, the original work of art and any and all reproduction rights to the design become the property of the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. The department will use the design to produce the 1989 Louisiana Waterfowl Conservation Stamp, limited edition art prints, commemorative medallions, and any reproductions it deems necessary and appropriate for purposes of documentation, promotion, and education.

3. If the Louisiana Legislature amends Act 632, which created the Louisiana Waterfowl Conservation Stamp and Print Program, to place the responsibility for the reproduction, distribution and marketing of the stamps and prints with the department instead of the artist, I agree to enter into a contract with the publisher selected by the department within 15 days after notification.

4. I hereby affirm that my original design of my own creation, has not been copied in whole or part from any published works of art, has not been previously entered in any federal or state waterfowl conservation stamp competition, and has not been published. I understand that all compensation may be forfeited if these conditions are not met.

5. I affirm that I am an artist legally domiciled in the state of Louisiana.

6. I have enclosed a nonrefundable entrance fee of $50 paid by cashier's check, certified check or money order made payable to: Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
