Pure quackery.
The Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest is one of the most successful conservation programs in our nation's history. Duck Stamps are vital tools for wetland conservation, with ninety-eight cents out of every dollar spent on Duck Stamps going directly to wetland habitat protection. Since its inception in 1934, sales of the Duck Stamp have generated over $1.1 billion that has conserved more than 6 million acres of wetland habitat for birds and other wildlife.
In response to an alleged submission whose design was dominated by shark eating various waterfowl, A Crime A Day tweeted in early 2023 that it was"a federal crime to enter a design in the Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest if waterfowl are not the dominant feature of the design." This is incorrect. It is not a crime to enter a design in which eligible waterfowl are not dominant in the Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest. But it is against the contest's regulations, as explained inA live portrayal of any bird of the five or fewer identified eligible waterfowl species must be the dominant feature of the design. The design may depict more than one of the eligible species.
That regulation does not define a crime — it merely states that entries in which"eligible waterfowl species" are not"the dominant feature of the design" will be disqualified. The assertion of criminal penalties comes from incorrectly invoking two parts of the U.S. Criminal Code.
