San Diego Zoo: Federal Junior Duck Stamp Event

Entries for 2008-2009's Federal Junior Duck Stamp event at the San Diego Zoo.

Students from around the United States submitted drawings to their state, territory, or district competition. Winners from these competitions, called the "Best of Show," were then submitted to the Federal Junior Duck Stamp Design Contest. One image from the 53 Best of Show entries will become the next Junior Duck Stamp. Junior Duck Stamps are sold for $5 each by the U.S. Postal Service, Amplex Corporation, and various National Wildlife Refuges. Proceeds from the sale of Junior Duck Stamps are returned to states for environmental and conservation education programs.
