Junior Duck Stamp
About The Program
The Junior Duck Stamp (JDS), a program for K-12 students, integrates wildlife and nature education with a visual arts curriculum. Students learn the importance of wetlands and waterfowl and use their knowledge to create a drawing or painting of one of the 46 native species of ducks, geese and swans and compete for a big prize: a commemorative federal stamp. The Junior Duck Stamp program is also a great opportunity for students to get out and explore wildlife for themselves.
Open to public, private and home-schooled South Carolina students, participants compete in four grade groups (K-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12). The overall South Carolina “Best of Show” competes in the National Junior Duck Stamp Contest. The winner will have his or her artwork turned into a postage stamp sold by the U.S. Postal Service and other vendors. Proceeds from the sales support environmental and conservation education efforts.
SEWE thanks our sponsor, Ducks Unlimited, and our partner SCDNR, who help to ensure the continuance of this important program. Send all SC Jr Duck Stamp entries to the following address: P.O. Box 20635 Charleston, SC 29413 or email [email protected]
