571—9.1(483A,484A) Design contests. The department will accept proposals from nonprofit, Iowa-based organizations wishing to take over the manner in which the designs for the waterfowl, habitat, and trout stamps are developed, and the marketing and sales of those designs in any medium to generate funds for department projects in Iowa.
571—9.2(483A,484A) Selection of promoter. The director will recommend the proposal(s) determined to have the best impact on Iowa conservation projects, the quality of wildlife art, and the functioning ability of the organization which submits the proposal. The commission will select the organization to provide each stamp design. Multiyear contracts are desired.
571—9.3(483A,484A) Stamp design—related proceeds. The selected organization is required to spend the proceeds from the sale of stamp design materials, less the cost of production and advertising, on department projects, approved by the director in consultation with the selected organization. The profits may be used to match department grant funds available to these organizations.
571—9.4(483A,484A) Design. The design for the stamps shall be provided to the department by September 1 of each year for use on the production of the stamps. The organization also will provide artist proofs, numbers one through five, of the design to the department when the print edition becomes available.
571—9.5(483A,484A) Commissioned design. In the event that no responsible organization provides an acceptable proposal for the design and marketing of one or more of the stamps, the director shall seek proposals from artists for a commissioned stamp design. The director shall evaluate the proposals and select one, with the approval of the commission, to design one or more stamps.
571—9.6(483A,484A) Financial records. Organizations selected to design and market a stamp shall maintain adequate financial records to determine the amount of proceeds to be allocated to department projects. These records shall be open to inspection and audit by representatives of the department and state auditor.
