The Bruce Museum welcomes visitors to experience the 2024 Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest LIVE at the Museum on September 19-20, 2024. At the two-day event, five expert judges will examine hundreds of entries to select the winning design for the 2025 Federal Duck Stamp. The five species eligible for the contest are Northern Shoveler, Brant, Greater Scaup, Spectacled Eider and Hooded Merganser.
You may view the entries on the USFWS Flickr site. Please remember these are low resolution scans that have not been color corrected. All judging will be done viewing the originals in person in a controlled environment. YouTube links for live streaming will be available closer to the contest date. Final scores by judges will be available after the contest.
Visitors can view the judging in person or watch via the livestream which will begin at 10 am Eastern Time each morning. Day 1 Live Stream and Day 2 Live Steam links are now available.
Collaboration within the community, The Bruce Museum, Greenwich Audubon, CT Waterfowl Association, CT Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge, and many others, is helping to raise awareness of the importance of the Duck Stamp through activities held locally throughout the late summer, fall, and winter months. Join us for the different events offered through these partners to help celebrate wildlife art, wetlands, waterfowl (and other birds!), and the part we all play in natural resource conservation.
