The Junior Duck Stamp
Conservation and Design
Program is a dynamic,
active, art and science
program designed to teach
wetlands habitat and
waterfowl conservation to
students in kindergarten
through high school.
Kerissa Nelson's acrylic painting of
a pair of ring-necked ducks was
selected for the Best of Show in
Wisconsin and her artwork was
forwarded to the National
competition where it was selected
as the top entry. Her painting, titled
Ringneck Rendezvous, is featured
on the 13th Junior Duck Stamp.
Wisconsin has been participating in the contest since 1993. Although the contest
does recognize artwork in categories of first, second, third place, and honorable
mentioned, all participants are recognized for their efforts through certificates, an
annual Wisconsin Junior Duck Stamp Calendar and letters of appreciation.
Traveling Display
The program guides students, using scientific and wildlife observation principles, to
communicate visually what they have learned through an entry into the Junior Duck
Stamp art contest. This non-traditional pairing of subjects brings new interest to both
the sciences and the arts. It crosses cultural, ethnic, social, and geographic
boundaries to teach greater awareness of our nation's natural resources.
