Duck stamp art contest seeks new $20 entry fee
A proposed $20 nonrefundable entry fee for the annual duck stamp art contest aims to cover costs after 2,099 entries last year and a $50,000 expenditure by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Final approval awaits public comment with forms available June 1 from the Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation Stamp Contest office in Washington DC. The rule also bans using Hooded merganser, green winged teal, mallard, ruddy duck, and canvasback as the dominant stamp image for 1982.
