2026 Junior Duck Stamp Traveling Exhibit Schedule

Students from kindergarten through grade 12 from across the Commonwealth submitted original works of art depicting waterfowl in their natural habitats, demonstrating both artistic talent and a knowledge of the value of wetlands for wildlife. Selections of the winning artworks from the 2025-2026 contest will be on exhibit in the Commonwealth during 2026.

Check their websites or contact the host organizations below for their hours of operation. Email Susan Sacco, Massachusetts Junior Duck Stamp Coordinator, at mailto:[e-mail] to determine where your artwork of interest is on exhibit.

Please help support the arts and conservation awareness among young people

Proceeds from the purchase of the $5 Junior Duck Stamp are used to support the program and go toward youth conservation education, awards for students and/or schools participating in the program, and promotion of the JDS program. You may purchase stamps from the U.S. Postal Service (see your local post office) or from DuckStamp.com (Duck Stamps Online | Duck Stamp).

The Junior Duck Stamp program is sponsored in the Commonwealth by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife (MassWildlife) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, with past support from the Massachusetts Sportsmen’s Council.
