Alabama –-(Ammoland.com)- Alabama artists are invited to enter the 2011 Alabama Waterfowl Stamp art contest, which opens January 1, 2011.
The winning artwork will be used as the design of the 2012-2013 Alabama Waterfowl Stamp, which is required to be purchased when hunting migratory waterfowl. Entries will be accepted from Jan. 1 – Feb. 15, 2011.
The competition is open to resident Alabama artists only. All eligible entries will be on display February 25, 2011, at the Richard Beard Building, 1445 Federal Dr., Montgomery, Ala., 36107.
