The artwork of a drake wood duck by Elyria native Adam Grimm won first place at this year's Ohio Wetlands Habitat Stamp design competition, sponsored by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife. Grimm’s painting will appear on the Ohio wetlands stamp for the fall of 2005.
The winning entry was selected from a field of 27 original paintings submitted by artists in 13 states, including nine entries from Ohio. The competition was held Saturday, February 14 at the annual Ducks Unlimited convention in Wilmington, Ohio.
"It’s great to win in my home state and especially with this species,” Grimm said.
This was Grimm’s first win in Ohio in a conservation stamp competition. In 1999, he became the youngest artist ever to win the prestigious federal duck stamp competition. He also has won state competitions in Washington in 2001 and Alaska in 2000 and 2003. Grimm was the 2004 artist of the year for Ohio Ducks Unlimited.
