LDWF announced the featured species for the 2023 Louisiana Duck Stamp competition: the bufflehead. This small diving duck is named after its resemblance to a bull bison’s head. It’s also commonly referred to as a butterball.
To enter, an artist must submit an original, unpublished work of art featuring the bufflehead and its associated habitat. Created in 1988, the Louisiana Waterfowl Conservation Stamp (Duck Stamp) Program funds the creation, restoration, and enhancement of wetland habitat for waterfowl and other wetland-dependent wildlife in Louisiana. Through sales of licenses and collector stamps as well as contest entry fees, the program generates about $350,000 annually for projects including land acquisition, wetland development and management on wildlife management areas, and wetland enhancement on private lands via the Louisiana Waterfowl Project, a cooperative endeavor among LDWF, Ducks Unlimited, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The contest is open to all artists 18 years of age and older. Employees of LDWF and members of their immediate families are ineligible. Entries will be accepted from Oct. 17-25, 2022.
