Nick Williamson, a former best of show winner of the Tennessee Junior Duck Stamp contest, has passed the passion for illustrating these aquatic birds to his students at Clarksville Academy.

Grades 7-9: Savannah Elder placed second.
Grades 10-12: Jamilyn Giarrizzo placed first, Ayden Kujawa and Garlyn Jarrell placed second and Elizabeth Hammond placed third. Sam Wilson, Valentin Basso Gural, Nevaeh Strawser, Max McWhorter, Zach Austin, Autumn Pendergrass, Ty Teasley, Gabi Nicholson, Leah Haves and Hannah Weatherford received honorable mentions.
