The 2015 Iowa Junior Duck Stamp Contest winners
will be on display during August at the Norwalk Easter
Public Library. Visit the library to see some amazing
artwork from students in grades K-12. The exhibit in-
cludes 36 pieces of artwork of Iowa's first, second, and
third place winners. Rae Clinkenbeard, a 16-year-old
from Denison, was awarded the 2015 Iowa Best of Show
winner. Rae's entry was a mallard pair done in pastels.
Her original artwork was sent to Washington, D.C. to
participate in the national contest and is now traveling
the United States as part of the best of show winners
from all fifty states.
One student from Norwalk has a winning entry on
display at the library. Ella Frye, a six-year-old was a first
place winner in the contest.
Also included in the exhibit this year are 16 winners
from the Ukraine. This project, known as the Iowa USA/
Vinogradovsky District Ukraine Student Art Exchange
Project, made its debut in 1999. After a break of several
years, the project is up and running again. Marvin
Campbell, a resident of Newton, Iowa, is the chairper-
son for the Iowa/Cherkasy Sister States program OPEN
- Organization Promoting Everlasting Neighbors. As
part of this cultural exchange, the 2015 Iowa winners
are on display in the Ukraine, while the Ukrainian con-
test winners travel Iowa with the Iowa winners.
Junior Duck Stamp designs are judged in the K-3, 4-
6, 7-9, and 10-12 grade groups. There are three first place,
three second place and three third place winners and
sixteen honorable mention winners chosen in each of
the grade groups. The Best of Show is then chosen from
the 12 first place winners from all age groups. The top
36 entries will be exhibited throughout Iowa from June
2015 through February 2016.
The Junior Duck Stamp Contest is modeled after the
Federal Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation
Stamp, commonly known as the "Duck Stamp." The
competition is held annually and all students in grades
K-12 may participate in the contest. The Federal Junior
Duck Stamp Program in Iowa, managed by the Neal
Smith National Wildlife Refuge near Prairie City, is a
conservation program designed to teach students about
waterfowl conservation and wetlands habitat through
an art and science-based curriculum.
Entries for the 2016 contest will be accepted anytime
but must be postmarked by March 15, 2016. Please mail
entries to the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge, P.O.
Box 399, 9981 Pacific Street, Prairie City, Iowa 50228.
For more information about the contest, contact Doreen
Van Ryswyk at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Ref-
uge at 515-994-3400 or go to the website www.fws.gov/
