Young New Hampshire artists in kindergarten through grade 12 are invited to submit original artwork depicting North American waterfowl to the NH Junior Duck Stamp Art Contest. The NH Fish and Game Department runs the statewide competition, which is part of the Federal Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Contest of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. The contest gives students a chance to show off their artistic talents and learn about conservation. The art competition is open to public, private and home-schooled New Hampshire students.
Entries must be postmarked by March 16. For competition guidelines, send your request to: Victor Young, N.H. Fish and Game Department, 11 Hazen Drive, Concord, NH 03301. Competition guidelines, including dimension requirements and an entry form also can be downloaded from http://www.wildnh.com/Education/ed_Junior_Duck_Contest.htm.
The New Hampshire Junior Duck Stamp Art Contest will award first, second, third and honorable mention ribbons in four groups: grades K-3; 4-6; 7-9; and 10-12. The State Best-of-Show will be selected from among the first-place winning designs. Winning artwork in all categories will be displayed at N.H Fish and Game headquarters in Concord. The Best-of-Show New Hampshire winner advances to the national Junior Duck Stamp Design Contest, in which the three top winners receive a cash award and a trip to the adult Federal Duck Stamp Contest.
