This event is being rescheduled as of April 29 for a later date and will no longer be held on May 2. Please keep an eye out for the new date!

Join us on May 2 from 10 - 11 a.m. ET at Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area’s (FWA) Visitors Center for the 2026 Junior Duck Stamp Competition Awards Ceremony to see which talented young person’s artwork will be featured on the 2026 Federal Junior Duck Stamp!

Over the past few months, Indiana DNR has received art submissions from kids across the country competing for their work to appear on the 2026 Federal Junior Duck Stamp. The Federal Junior Duck Stamp Conservation and Design Program is a dynamic art-and-science based curriculum that teaches wetland and waterfowl conservation to kids in kindergarten through high school. The program encourages students to explore the natural world, invites them to investigate biology and wildlife management principles, and challenges them to express and share what they have learned with others.

Can’t make it to the awards ceremony? We’ve got you covered! The art will be on display in the Goose Pond FWA Visitors Center May 2 - 11. Be sure to stop in and support some budding wildlife artists!
