(Helena) Governor Greg Gianforte unveiled the winner of the 2024 Migratory Bird Stamp art contest at the Capitol Rotunda in a small ceremony Monday. The winning work will be on display for a week at the Capitol and then at Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks’ headquarters in Helena.
The winning artwork is by Florida artist John Nelson Harris. His painting of a northern pintail duck was selected from among more than 70 submissions from artists around the United States. Harris is the designer of more than a dozen conservation prints and stamps, including duck stamps for California, Oklahoma and Washington.
FWP launched the art contest this year to help raise additional awareness and appreciation for wetlands conservation and the benefits of intact wetlands to people and wildlife.
