Federal Duck Stamp Competition

Robert Bealle holds his award winning Duck Stamp entry On October 16th and 17th, 2009, a panel of five distinguished judges (plus an alternate) judged the 224 entries in front of an auditorium full of visitors and hopeful artists. First place went to Robert Bealle, a local artist from Waldorf, Maryland, who has participated in the federal competition many times. His serene depiction of an American wigeon will be made into the 2010-2011 Federal Duck Stamp, and will go on sale in late June 2010.
