Maynard Reece (1920-2020) was an Iowa-based artist of wildlife, especially of ducks. He won the Federal Duck Stamp competition a record five times in his life: 1948, 1951, 1959, 1969 and 1971. In 1948, Reece won his first Federal Duck Stamp competition. Federal Duck Stamps are required for all waterfowl hunters to have in their possession when hunting waterfowl. His illustrations have appeared in magazines such as Life, Sports Illustrated, Saturday Evening Post, Sports Afield, Outdoor Life, Ducks Unlimited and National Wildlife. Moreover, he has published two books devoted to his own wildlife art: The Waterfowl Art of Maynard Reece and The Upland Bird Art of Maynard Reece.

C.G. (Claremont Gale)“Bud” Pritchard was born in 1910, on a farm located just outside Kenesaw, Nebraska. Pritchard grew up drawing wildlife along the Platte River and frequented other nearby wetland areas. For many years Pritchard was the primary illustrator for the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, producing over 50 magazine covers and designing all of their early stamps. Prior to designing the first Pheasant and Quail Stamp, Pritchard had already begun entering the annual Federal Duck Stamp Art Contest, first held in 1950. Pritchard placed second in 1952 and again in 1956. The subsequent experience he gained in designing the Nebraska stamps helped him to win the contest in 1967 and his artwork, featuring a pair of Hooded mergansers served as the vignette for the 1968-69 Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp.

Edward A. Morris (1917-2009) was born in Philadelphia. He is or was the only duck stamp artist so far to have won the competition two years in a row. He was a member of Ducks Unlimited, Inc. and his work is in many private collections.
