Abstract: A valid Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp (Duck Stamp) is an annual licensing requirement for all migratory bird hunters. Artwork for the stamp is chosen by a panel of judges during an annual art contest. The Duck Stamp and Junior Duck Stamp contests encourage the public to engage in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s conservation mission. In support of directives in SO 3347, the Duck Stamp and Junior Duck Stamp programs actively engage Americans of all ages to better understand the biological requirements and conservation management of waterfowl and wetlands. Contestants portray their understanding of the anatomy and ecology of waterfowl as well as the importance of wildlife conservation and the waterfowl hunting heritage in order to successfully compete. Contest entry forms are necessary to enable the Service to track contestants’ artwork during the contest judging process, verify age and unique artwork requirements, and return artwork.
