CALL TO YOUNG ARTISTS FOR JR. DUCK STAMP COMPETITION

Young artists in grades K to 12 are invited to free workshops (Dec. 3, 10 and 17) to enter the California State Junior Duck Stamp competition. The event is sponsored by Pacific Southwest Wildlife Art (PSWA) and Heritage of the Americas Museum. All students who enter will receive a certificate from the State of California Fish and Game Services and be eligible for ribbons and awards.

There are no fees for the entrants. The goal is for each child to learn about  conservation through the duck stamp program, drawing techniques, competition rules and an awareness of art opportunities.

As a special feature, the student’s artwork  (9” x 12” painting or drawing) will be displayed at PSWA’s annual international decoy carving competition Feb. 11 and 12, 2012, at Liberty Station in San Diego. After the carvers show, PSWA will ship the artwork directly to the State for the annual Jr. stamp competition.

Each State in the U.S. selects winners in the various age divisions and the first place winners go on to compete at the Federal level for the prize of $5000.

All meetings/workshops will be held at the Heritage of the Americas Museum on Saturdays from 12 to 1:30pm.  Artwork to be completed at home.
