Abstract 

History of the Federal Duck Stamp 

On March 16, 1934, Congress passed, 

and President Franklin D. Roosevelt 

signed, the Migratory Bird Hunting 

Stamp Act (16 U.S.C. 718–718k). 

Popularly known as the Duck Stamp 

Act, it required all waterfowl hunters 16 

years or older to buy a stamp annually. 

The revenue generated was originally 

earmarked for the Department of 

Agriculture, but 5 years later was 

transferred to the Department of the 

Interior and the Service. 

In the years since its enactment, the 

Federal Duck Stamp Program has 

become one of the most popular and 

successful conservation programs ever 

initiated. Today, some 1.5 million 

stamps are sold each year, and as of 

2017, Federal Duck Stamps have 

generated more than $1 billion for the 

preservation of more than 6 million 

acres of waterfowl habitat in the United 

States. Numerous other birds, mammals, 

fish, reptiles, and amphibians have 

similarly prospered because of habitat

protection made possible by the 

program. An estimated one-third of the 

Nation’s endangered and threatened 

species find food or shelter in refuges 

preserved by Duck Stamp funds. 

Moreover, the protected wetlands help 

dissipate storms, purify water supplies, 

store flood water, and nourish fish 

hatchlings important for sport and 

commercial fishermen. 

History of the Duck Stamp Contest 

Jay N. ‘‘Ding’’ Darling, a nationally 

known political cartoonist for the Des 

Moines Register and a noted hunter and 

wildlife conservationist, designed the 

first Federal Duck Stamp at President 

Roosevelt’s request. In subsequent years, 

noted wildlife artists submitted designs. 

The first Federal Duck Stamp Contest 

was opened in 1949 to any U.S. artist 

who wished to enter, and 65 artists 

submitted a total of 88 design entries. 

Since then, the contest has been known 

as the Federal Migratory Bird Hunting 

and Conservation Stamp Art (Duck 

Stamp) Contest and has attracted large 

numbers of entrants. 

The Duck Stamp Contest (50 CFR part 

91) remains the only art competition of 

its kind sponsored by the U.S. 

Government. The Secretary of the 

Interior appoints a panel of noted art, 

waterfowl, and philatelic authorities to 

select each year’s winning design. 

Winners receive no compensation for 

the work, except a pane of their stamps, 

but winners may sell prints of their 

designs, which are sought by hunters, 

conservationists, and art collectors. 

The Service selects five or fewer 

species of waterfowl each year; each 

entry must employ one of the Servicedesignated species as the dominant 

feature (defined as being in the 

foreground and clearly the focus of 

attention). Designs may also include 

hunting dogs, hunting scenes, waterfowl 

decoys, national wildlife refuges as the 

background of habitat scenes, noneligible species, or other scenes that 

depict uses of the stamp for sporting, 

conservation, and collecting purposes. 

Entries may be in any media EXCEPT 

photography or computer-generated art. 

Designs must be the contestants’ 

original hand-drawn creation and may 

not be copied or duplicated from 

previously published art, including 

photographs, or from images in any 

format published on the internet. 

History of the Junior Duck Stamp 

Contest 

The Federal Junior Duck Stamp 

Conservation and Design Program 

(Junior Duck Stamp Program) began in 

1989 as an extension of the Migratory 

Bird Conservation and Hunting Stamp. 

The national Junior Duck Stamp art 

contest started in 1993, and the first 

stamp design was selected from entries 

from eight participating states. The 

program was recognized by Congress 

with the 1994 enactment of the Junior 

Duck Stamp Conservation and Design 

Program Act (16 U.S.C. 719). All 50 

states, Washington DC, and 2 of the U.S. 

Territories currently participate in the 

annual contest. 

The Junior Duck Stamp Program 

introduces wetland and waterfowl 

conservation to students in kindergarten 

through high school. It crosses cultural, 

ethnic, social, and geographic 

boundaries to teach greater awareness 

and guide students in exploring our 

nation’s natural resources. It is the 

Service’s premier conservation 

education initiative. 

The Junior Duck Stamp Program 

includes a dynamic art- and sciencebased curriculum. This non-traditional 

pairing of subjects brings new interest to 

both the sciences and the arts. The 

program teaches students across the 

nation conservation through the arts, 

using scientific and wildlife observation 

principles to encourage visual 

communication about what they learn. 

Four curriculum guides, with activities 

and resources, were developed for use 

as a year-round study plan to assist 

students in exploring science in real-life 

situations. 

Modeled after the Federal Duck 

Stamp Contest, the annual Junior Duck 

Stamp Art and Conservation Message 

Contest (Junior Duck Stamp Contest) 

was developed as a visual assessment of 

a student’s learning and progression. 

The Junior Duck Stamp Contest 

encourages partnerships among Federal 

and State government agencies, 

nongovernment organizations, 

businesses, and volunteers to help 

recognize and honor thousands of 

teachers and students throughout the 

United States for their participation in 

conservation-related activities. Since 

2000, the contest has received more 

than 478,000 entries. 

The winning artwork from the 

national art contest serves as the design 

for the Junior Duck Stamp, which the 

Service produces annually. This $5 

stamp has become a much sought after 

collector’s item. One hundred percent of 

the revenue from the sale of Junior Duck 

stamps goes to support recognition and 

environmental education activities for 

students who participate in the 

program. More than $1.25 million in 

Junior Duck Stamp proceeds have been 

used to provide recognition, incentives, 

and scholarships to participating 

students, teachers, and schools. The 

Program continues to educate youth 

about land stewardship and the 

importance of connecting to their 

natural worlds. Several students who 

have participated in the Junior Duck 

Stamp Program have gone on to become 

full-time wildlife artists and 

conservation professionals; many 

attribute their interest and success to 

their early exposure to the Junior Duck 

Stamp Program. 

Who Can Enter the Federal Duck Stamp 

and Junior Duck Stamp Contests 

The Duck Stamp Contest is open to all 

U.S. citizens, nationals, and resident 

aliens who are at least 18 years of age 

by June 1. Individuals enrolled in 

kindergarten through grade 12 may 

participate in the Junior Duck Stamp 

Contest. All eligible students are 

encouraged to participate in the Junior 

Duck Stamp Conservation and Design 

Program annual art and conservation 

message contest as part of the program 

curriculum through public, private, and 

homeschools, as well as through 

informal educational experiences such 

as those found in scouting, art studios, 

and nature centers.

Students in Grades 7–12 and all

translates entry forms into other 

appropriate languages to increase the 

understanding of the rules and what the 

parents and students are signing.

no fees associated with the Junior Duck 

Stamp Contest submissions. We 

estimate the mailing costs associated

$25,000 annually. Most of the 25,000 

entries are mailed directly by schools 

who utilize the bulk mail option

packages received.
