The Junior Duck Stamp Program, a kids' version of the prestigious Federal Duck Stamp Program and Contest, engages K-12 students in an integrated arts and science curriculum, culminating in a design challenge to create a North American waterfowl art piece for submission to their state contest. First place winners from all 50 U.S. states and territories advanced to the national contest at the Science Museum where one piece is selected to be printed as the 2010 Junior Duck Stamp.

The Junior Duck Stamp is both a collector's item among philatelists and is a tool that generates funding for conservation education across the country. The stamp is sold for $5 by the U.S. Post Office, National Wildlife Refuges, some sporting goods stores, and online through Amplex.
