First step in the process: Enter the 2026 NDSCS Stamp Contest The NDSCS is pleased to announce its 2026 contest for the annual stamp issued by the National Duck Stamp Collectors Society. The Society is soliciting donations of artwork from NDSCS artist members to use on its 18th annual stamp. Do you have a waterfowl painting (that has not appeared on another stamp) you would be willing to allow the Society to use? You MUST be a member to enter the contest. Not a member? Join today — ndscs.org — dues are tax-deductible, and membership includes a subscription to Duck Tracks, the Society newsletter. You will retain your original artwork — only a high-resolution scan (300 dpi) is necessary to enter and produce the stamp. Your painting does not need to leave your possession. Limit one entry per artist, please. NDSCS will open voting to the over 300 National Duck Stamp Collectors Society members. The NDSCS is one of the best societies in stamp collecting (and, we think, has the best-looking stamps). You can view prior stamps at the Society website: https://ndscs.org/stamp-collection/. If you have a painting you wish to submit, e-mail the file to ritadumaine@gmail.com. Deadline to enter is May 31, 2026. The entries will be printed in the second quarter issue of Duck Tracks and will also be displayed on the Society’s website.
