Oklahoma Waterfowl Stamp Design Competition

The Oklahoma Waterfowl Stamp Design Competition was designed to aid in conserving quality habitat for the hundreds of thousands of ducks and geese that migrate through the state. The competition, which began in 1980, features portraits of the state’s diverse waterfowl species by the nation’s best artists.

The winning portrait is featured on Oklahoma's waterfowl collector's stamp. Funds generated through the sale of the waterfowl collector's stamp and waterfowl hunting state license have helped purchase 11,675 wetland acres in Oklahoma. These funds also help to enhance, create, restore and maintain thousands of additional acres of critical waterfowl habitat. Wetland development units such as Hackberry Flat Wildlife Management Area and Red Slough Wildlife Management Area have benefited from waterfowl stamp/license funds.
