If you are a student in kindergarten through grade twelve who loves to draw or paint or a teacher who shares the passion of the fine arts with students in this age group, consider participating in this year's Junior Duck Stamp Contest.

The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program is open to all students k-12. Students demonstrate the knowledge they gained about an eligible North American waterfowl species through their art by drawing, sketching or painting an original picture of their selected species and submitting it to the contest.

The program is run at the state, territory or district level from a host station. Washington State's host station is Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge near Olympia, Washington. The Junior Duck Stamp State Coordinator is Michael Schramm.
