Junior Duck Stamp 2017-2018

Artist: Isaac Schreiber, 12
Hometown: Duffield, Va.
Species: Trumpeter swans

Isaac has always loved wildlife and the outdoors. He lives in the country near Duffield, Va., where he enjoys fishing, hunting, hiking, swimming, disc golf and painting waterfowl. He was inspired to enter the Junior Duck Stamp contest by his older brother Timothy, who also has a passion for waterfowl, and entered the contest for years. Isaac placed first in his age group the first time he entered. Encouraged by his success, this year he chose trumpeter swans, wanting to stand out and present a majestic species that isn't typically represented in the contest. He felt confident with his final design, and "Lit Swans" went on to win not only Virginia Best of Show, but the national contest, where he and his family were present. Isaac is thrilled to have the opportunity to support the Junior Duck Stamp program and conservation education, with his beautiful depiction of trumpeter swans gracing the 25th Junior Duck Stamp.
