C. Judging of the designs will take place in November by a commit tee composed of waterfowl authori ties. This year artists are heing asked to submit drawings which show a retriever in action. The idea has been suggested by several conser vation organizations whose mem bers are anxious lo promote a campaign to reduce crippling loss es by the use of retriever dogs while hunting. Crippling losses are now estimated to be approximate ly 25 per cent nf the annual kill of migratory waterfowl. I Designs submitted which do not show a retriever at work will not be eliminated from the con test judging. Each design will he judged on its merit. Artists submit ting such designs are reminded that the subject must he a true- to-life portrait of watorfowl. The species depicted should be readily iclenlifiahle and shown in position and plumage as the hunter sees them." In lhe case of walerfowl por-trail-lype entries, preference will be given in the judging to species which have not been used on a stamp within the past five years. The retriever type nf design, how ever, may use any species of watorfowl. All interested artists are eligible lo enter the contest and may sub mit as many designs as they wish. Upon request to the service, pro spective contestants will be sent a leaflet containing contest rules and suggestions, along with a copy of the agreement covering contest re production rights. This agreement is to be signed and returned to the service prior lo lhe contest judg ing. If an artist submits more than one design, he is required lo sign a separate agreement for each one. A free copy of the leaflet, "Rules for the Annual Federal Duck Stamp Contest" Is available lo in terested artists bv writing to lhe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Of fice of Information, Washington 25, D.
