USFW, Junior Duck Stamp Contest

ATTENTION ALL ARTISTS and WRITERS in the US and its Territories:

The US Fish & Wildlife Service announces it's 15th Annual Junior Duck
Stamp Contest. This is open to all students, grades K-12. Visit
http://www.fws.gov/juniorduck .

The Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program is a dynamic,
art and science program designed to teach wetlands habitat and
waterfowl conservation to students in kindergarten through high
school. 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.

DEADLINE IS March 15, 2007 (Except in North Carolina it is January
18th, South Carolina is January 30th and Ohio is March 1).
