Here are the requirements for offering contests that involve entry fees in Utah:
Requirements for Certified Fishing Contests
To offer a certified fishing contest in Utah, you need to obtain a Certificate of Registration (COR) from the Division of Wildlife Resources [1.1]([1.3]). The COR application must include a complete schedule of entry fees, cash awards, and prize values, as well as documentation of the number of participants and information regarding the use of live weigh-in [1.3]([1.3]). The COR is valid for only one fishing tournament on one water [1.3]([1.3]).
Requirements for Tagged Fish Contests
To conduct a tagged fish contest in Utah, you need to obtain a COR from the Division of Wildlife Resources [1.2]([1.3]). The COR application must include the start date and end date of the contest [1.2]([1.2]).
Entry Form and Charge
Exhibitors shall complete the entry form provided by the fair administration when entering exhibit items or animals in the fair. The exhibitor shall pay an entry charge which will be published in the exhibitor handbook [2.1]([2.1]).
To summarize, you can offer contests that involve entry fees in Utah, but you need to obtain a Certificate of Registration from the Division of Wildlife Resources for fishing contests. For fair contests, exhibitors shall complete the entry form and pay the entry charge.
Note that these are not the only requirements for offering contests in Utah. For more information, please refer to the relevant documents.
