    New paintings chosen for pheasant and turkey stamps.

  :reporter; :DNR.....

 :Clap:.....
Mark Kness of Freeborn won the Minnesota Pheasant Habitat Stamp contest and Stephen Hamrick of Lakeville won the Turkey Habitat Stamp contest. Both of the annual contests took place Sept. 19 and are sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

 :happy1: ....
This was the first time Mark Kness has won the pheasant stamp contest. His painting, selected by judges from among 11 submissions, will be featured on the 2020 pheasant habitat stamp. Other finalists were Mark Thone of Shakopee in second place, Stephen Hamrick of Lakeville in third place and Nicholas Markell of Stillwater in fourth place.

In the turkey stamp contest, Hamricks painting was selected by judges from among nine submissions, and will be featured on the 2021 turkey habitat stamp. Other finalists were Micah Hanson of St. Charles in second place and Mark Kness in third place.

Stephen Hamrick of Lakeville won the Turkey Habitat Stamp contest.

The pheasant stamp validation for hunting is $7.50 and is required for pheasant hunters ages 18 to 64. For an extra 75 cents, purchasers can receive the validation as well as the pictorial stamp in the mail. It also is sold as a collectible. Revenue from stamp sales is dedicated to pheasant habitat management and protection.

The 1996 Minnesota Legislature authorized the turkey stamp at the request of turkey hunters. The DNR uses stamp revenue for wild turkey management and research, and incorporates the cost of a turkey stamp into the price of the hunting license no additional purchase is required.

A pictorial turkey stamp costs 75 cents and can be purchased with or without a turkey hunting license.

Actually, superb paintings. I just don't see how they can make them so real looking, I have a terrible time drawing a stick figure! I see one of the almost-won entrants is a local guy.

Nice Steve-O! I drew a crude imitation of the original Reb-brandt in the dust on the kindly neighbor's grain dryer one year when he was drying corn yet around Thanksgiving. Somehow he was not amused... :confused:

Apparently he hadn't a critical eye for real art.  :rotflmao:

On a serious note... It must be really hard to judge these entries each year.  I don't think it is simply a contest to see who painted the best picture this year.

They probably have to consider that what looks really good on a full sized painting might not look as good on a 2 inch stamp. 

Plus they probably compare the current entries against the full body of previous stamps.  They might not be as keen to select a painting that was similar to one selected before.

Then again, what do I know.  I painted a couple of peasants.
