Save the date for 2010 Delaware Duck Stamp competition on April 24

Wildlife art enthusiasts, stamp and print collectors, waterfowl hunters, birdwatchers and wetland conservationists will want to mark their calendars for this year’s Delaware Duck and Trout Stamp contests, beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 24 at the Delaware Ducks Unlimited Greenwings’ Event at Owens Station in Greenwood.  

Sponsored by the Delaware Division of Fish and Wildlife in partnership with Delaware Ducks Unlimited, the annual competitions draw entries by renowned and emerging artists from across the country.  

A panel of judges consisting of an artist, a waterfowl collector, an art teacher, a biologist and the chair of Delaware Ducks Unlimited will select Best of Show winners for the 2011 Delaware Duck Stamp, the 2010 Junior Duck Stamp and the 2011 Delaware Trout Stamp. Judges will base their decisions on originality, artistic composition, anatomical accuracy and suitability for reproduction as a stamp and print.
