Federal Duck Stamp Entries
From a gallery of about 200 entries, posted at Outdoors Weekly:
"The $15 Federal Duck Stamp is a vital tool for wetland conservation, with 98 cents of every dollar generated going to purchase or lease wetland habitat for the National Wildlife Refuge System. Since the stamp’s inception, sales have helped to acquire nearly six million acres of wildlife habitat at hundreds of refuges in nearly every state.
The Federal Duck Stamp art contest is the only art competition of its kind sponsored by the federal government.

While the winner receives no money from the federal government, the winning artist may benefit from the increased visibility and sale of prints and artwork."
