Dive into the strange and wonderful world of the Federal Duck Stamp Contest – the only juried art competition run by the U.S. government. The Duck Stamp is among the most successful conservation tools ever created. It has also spawned a uniquely American subculture of talent, ego, art, controversy, big money, and migratory waterfowl. The film explores the history and challenges facing this successful conservation program, while delving into the eccentric nature of six wildlife artists as they competitively paint waterfowl in their obsessive quests to win the “Olympics of wildlife art.” -Chris Metzler
