The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is gearing up to open the entry window for its 2027 Conservation Stamp Art Contest, the annual showcase that puts one artist’s wildlife masterpiece on the state’s coveted collectible conservation stamp.

This year’s featured muse? The Arctic grayling — a dazzling native fish known for its shimmering colors and dramatic, sail-like dorsal fin. It’s one of Wyoming’s most iconic cold-water species, and now it’s ready for its close-up on canvas.

Professional artists can submit their grayling-inspired works Jan. 2 through March 31, 2026. Student artists don’t have to wait — youth submissions are open now and will close April 10, 2026. Full contest rules, formats, and submission details can be found on the Game and Fish Conservation Stamp Art webpage.
