Add The 1997-98 US Junior Duck Stamp to Your Collection
The Federal Junior Duck Stamp program began in 1989 with a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. The national Junior Duck Stamp contest first took place in 1993. This gave a chance for students in kindergarten through 12th grade to show off their paintings of migratory birds, just like the annual Duck Stamp contest does for adults.
The Junior Duck Stamp contest is part of the Federal Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program. This science- and art-based curriculum teaches students wetland and waterfowl conservation through investigating these areas. They are then encouraged to share what they’ve learned through painting or drawing a native North American duck, goose, or swan. This artwork is judged on the state level, and the Best of Show in each state is entered into the national competition. From these works, a panel of judges selects a national Best of Show, which then becomes the image used on that year’s Junior Duck Stamp.
Like the original Duck Stamp, the money raised through the sale of the Junior Duck Stamp is used to support conservation efforts of the US Fish and Wildlife Service. These include educational programs and recognizing students who take part in conservation efforts.
The 1997-98 Junior Duck Stamp winner was 17-year-old Scott Russell from Mount Shasta, California, with a painting of a pair of Canada geese. Though geese aren’t ducks, they are migrating waterfowl and benefit from the conservation efforts generated by the original sale of these stamps. The stamp includes the artist’s name and home state on the right border of the central design. Order it today.
