The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is currently accepting artwork entries for the 2027 Wild Turkey, Pheasant, and Waterfowl Stamp Design Contests. These contests allow artists from across Wisconsin to showcase their talents and promote wildlife conservation.
Sales from these species-specific stamps, which hunters are required to purchase, annually generate hundreds of thousands of dollars for wildlife conservation, including habitat management, restoration, education, and research projects across the state.
Entries must be received or postmarked by August 1, 2026.
Judging will take place on August 22, 2026, at the Waterfowl Hunters Expo in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
Applicants must carefully review the contest rules and ensure their artwork meets technical requirements for eligibility.
Registration, rules, entry information, and reproduction rights agreements are available on the DNR’s Wildlife Stamp Funding and Stamp Design Contest webpage.
