ODFW invites the public to view artwork entered in the annual stamp art contest on Tuesday, Oct. 29 from 12:30-6:00 p.m. at ODFW Headquarters in Salem. The event is free and open to the public. Located at 4034 Fairview Industrial Dr SE, Salem, ODFW Headquarters will host the display of submissions for the 2025 Habitat Conservation Stamp, Upland Game Bird Stamp, and Waterfowl Stamp art contests. A panel of judges will evaluate the entries on the morning of the show.
Artists participating in the Habitat Conservation Stamp category are required to feature an eligible species from the Oregon Conservation Strategy in its natural habitat. For the 2025 Waterfowl Stamp, entries must showcase one of the following species in its natural habitat setting: ring-necked duck, white-winged scoter, or Barrow's goldeneye. The 2025 Upland Game Bird Stamp requires artwork featuring the California quail in its natural habitat setting.
A panel will judge artwork based on artistic composition, anatomical accuracy of the species and general appeal. The winning artist in each contest receives a $2,000 award and winning artwork is used to produce collector stamps and other promotional items with sale proceeds benefitting Oregon's fish, wildlife and their habitats. Sales from the purchase of Waterfowl, Upland Game Bird and Habitat Conservation Stamp products help fund research, surveys, habitat improvement and conservation projects. View winning entries from previous years or order stamps/prints.
