Victoria’s recreational fishing licence is getting a colourful new look, thanks to the creativity of competition winner Maya.
Victorian Fisheries Authority congratulated Maya, describing her design as “amazing” and a true celebration of recreational fishing in the state.
Victoria’s Premier Jacinta Allan also praised the result, saying: “Congratulations to Maya — this design is the new face of Victoria’s fishing licence.”
“Chosen by Victorians, carried by every fisher across our great state. A celebration of fishing in Victoria.”
Maya’s design, selected from more than 100 entries, will now feature on fishing licence cards carried by thousands of fishers across the state.
The keen spearfisher received a $100 tackle shop voucher for her winning artwork, which she plans to spend on a new speargun at Adreno in Cheltenham.
The competition, which attracted more than 100 creative submissions, gave the community the final say through a public vote.
Victorian fishers are reminded that a Recreational Fishing Licence (RFL) is required when fishing in the state’s marine, estuarine and inland waters unless exempt.
