Due to health concerns, the in-person judging has been canceled and will now only be viewable online (read the USFWS announcement here). PPJV partners are moving forward with many of the affiliated events as planned; please reference the calendar below for updated event information.
The PPJV partnership is proud to host the 2022 Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest, one of the most successful conservation programs in our nation’s history. Duck Stamps are vital tools for wetland conservation, with ninety-eight cents out of every dollar spent on Duck Stamps going directly to wetland habitat protection. Since its inception in 1934, sales of the Duck Stamp have generated over $1.1 billion that has conserved more than 6 million acres of wetland habitat for birds and other wildlife. In addition to the contest itself, PPJV partners will be hosting many other exciting activities in the area.
