The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) began selling hard collector’s license cards last year. These optional collectible cards allow you to carry all of your active annual licenses on one long-lasting card that fits right in your wallet. These collector cards will feature new artwork each year from our 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! We 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.
