| dc.description.abstract | President Franklin Roosevelt signed the Duck Stamp Act into law in 1934. The Duck Stamp Act states that any waterfowl hunter over the age of 16 years old must buy a Federal Duck Stamp and that the sales from the stamp go to the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund. In the beginning, the government selected an artist to paint the stamp. After a few years of debates, there was a proposal to form the Federal Duck Stamp contest in which anyone could participate. This is the longest-running government controlled contest in the United States. | en_US |
