  • Saying I get over a hundred weekly press releases for various things from new music to some signature series announcement, is an understatement.  I once counted, and I got somewhere close to 500 press releases in my inbox in a seven day period.  Below is the best one I received not only this week, but possibly in all of 2011.  Joseph Hautman, an artist from Plymouth, Minn., is the winner of the 2011 Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest.   The announcement was made today by U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe at the National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, W. Va., during the annual art competition. This is Hautman’s fourth Federal Duck Stamp Contest win.  His art previously appeared on the 1992-1993, 2002-2003 and 2008-2009 Federal Duck Stamps.  Hautman’s acrylic painting of a single wood duck will be made into the 2012-2013 Federal Duck Stamp, which will go on sale in late June 2012.  The Service produces the Federal Duck Stamp, which sells for $15 and raises about $25 million each year to provide critical funds for conserving wetlands for the benefit of wildlife and the enjoyment of people.
