Just over two years ago, 56% of Minnesotan's voted for the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. Now the Minnesota DNR is providing the public another opportunity to become involved in the process. Minnesota citizens can submit their logo design to represent the work of the Amendment.
Here is the DNR's press release:
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is seeking entries by Dec. 7 for a contest to design a logo that will identify all projects funded by the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. Projects fall under one of four funds - clean water, outdoor heritage, parks and trails, and arts and cultural heritage - and the logo must cover them all.
The winning logo will be displayed throughout the state at access points to any land or water resources acquired or protected, construction projects, or printed and other materials that were funded by the Outdoor Heritage Fund, Parks and Trails Fund, Clean Water Fund, or the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
Ideas that the logo should be designed to communicate:
- Outdoor heritage - Restore, protect and enhance wetlands, prairies, forests, and habitat for fish, game and wildlife.
- Clean water - Protect, enhance and restore water quality in lakes, rivers and streams to protect groundwater from degradation and protect drinking water sources.
- Parks and trails - Support parks and trails of regional or statewide significance.Arts and cultural heritage - Support arts, arts education and arts access, and preserve Minnesota's history and cultural heritage.
