PRESS RELEASE: Florida Fishing License Campaign
The Florida Fishing License “I DO” Campaign is all about getting people to buy fishing licenses. Buying a fishing license is a simple way for you to show support for the treasures that make up our fisheries and outdoors. Whether you fish or not, buying a fishing license goes a long way to helping protect Florida's valuable wildlife for future generations. When you have your very own license you are saying:
I DO support conservation minded, sustainable fishing
I DO support science based fisheries management
I DO support a path for kids to connect with the outdoors
…and so much more!
The “I DO” Campaign is offering anglers the opportunity to WIN a Lifetime Sportsman's License (includes Hunting, Freshwater Fishing and Saltwater Fishing licenses; and Deer, Wildlife Management Area, Archery, Muzzle loading Gun, Crossbow, Turkey, Florida Waterfowl, Snook and Lobster permits), a $1,000 value!
HOW TO WIN
There are two ways to enter for YOUR chance to win a LIFETIME Sportsman's License:
1.) Record a video of YOU (15 seconds) telling us why everyone should have their very own Florida Fishing License (if you have any Florida fishing license already, let's see it, too!).
Think about all the positive things someone can say when they purchase and have their own Florida fishing license. When you can say “I DO” you are giving back to the Florida outdoors we love and cherish, and so much more.
2.) Submit a photo of YOU with your favorite catch or your current Florida fishing license (details on card must not be clear/legible) and tell us in a few sentences why everyone should have their very own Florida Fishing License.
Then, submissions can be sent via message or in the comment section of the official contest post on Facebook (www.facebook.com/FloridaFishingLicenseCampaign), tag or direct message on Instagram (@idocampaign), and by e-mail contest@wildlifeflorida.org. *Please refer to the Rules and Regulations section for additional information.
