Information | 2009 Winners

The Wetlands Institute is the official State of New Jersey site for Junior Duck Stamp entries and judging.

The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program is an integrated art and science curriculum developed to teach environmental science and habitat conservation. Be sure to check the U S Fish & Wildlife Service Federal Junior Duck Stamp Program web page each year, to get up to date artwork requirements, permitted species, and National awards information.  Each year a downloadable entry form is available here, as well as the newly required Reference Form.

A Junior Duck Stamp design is a "term paper" in which students use visual rather than verbal articulation to show what they have learned. Participants select a species of North American waterfowl, do research on this species and its habitat, then depict the waterfowl in an artistic medium.

K-12 students attending public, private, or home schools in the United States are eligible to enter; so long as they are U.S. citizens, resident aliens, or nationals.

First Place National Winner receives a $5,000 cash award and a free trip to participate in the First day of Sale ceremony in Late June or Early July.

Entries are judged in 4 grade groups (K-3rd, 4th-6th, 7th-9th, and 10th -12th), with three first place, three second place, three third place, and sixteen honorable mention ribbons awarded. The state Best of Show is selected from the 12 first place winning designs and competes in the national competition in Washington, DC.  All National and State winning designs are on display during the year and are returned to the students the following spring.

A free curriculum guide for teachers is available by contacting the Federal Duck Stamp Office, Department of the Interior, 1849 C Street NW, Room 2058, Washington, DC  20240.
