The annual Montana Migratory Bird Stamp contest for 2025 has officially opened, as announced on the Montana Outdoor Radio Show. This contest, held by the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks (FWP), invites artists to submit their original artwork for consideration to be featured on the state’s upcoming migratory bird stamp. The winning design will be printed on the stamp, which is required for all hunters who wish to pursue migratory game birds in Montana.
This year’s contest is sure to draw a wide range of talented artists from across Montana, as the competition is known for showcasing the state’s vibrant wildlife and outdoor scenes. Artists can submit their artwork until the deadline in early September, after which a panel of judges will select the winning design based on creativity, composition, and overall appeal.
The migratory bird stamp is an important part of Montana’s conservation efforts, as proceeds from stamp sales go towards habitat conservation and wildlife management programs. By purchasing a stamp, hunters and conservation enthusiasts can directly contribute to the protection of Montana’s diverse bird species and their habitats.
The FWP encourages all artists, whether amateurs or professionals, to participate in the contest and showcase their love for Montana’s wildlife through their artwork. The winning design will not only be featured on the stamp but will also be seen by hunters and conservationists across the state, further raising awareness about the importance of preserving Montana’s natural resources.
As the contest gets underway, the FWP is excited to see the creativity and talent that Montana artists will bring to the table. The winning design will be revealed later this year, and hunters can look forward to purchasing the 2025 Montana Migratory Bird Stamp to support conservation efforts in the state.
