Pocasset Artist Wins 2008 Waterfowl Stamp Contest

[Hunting News]

Gregg Coppolo’s colored pencil rendition of a black duck hen decoy has taken top honors in the 2008 Massachusetts Waterfowl Stamp Contest. The decoy was crafted by Russ Burr (Hingham, 1887-1955). Coppolo, who lives in Pocassett, has entered the Massachusetts Waterfowl Stamp Competition many times, once placing second. He was stunned and delighted to learn his entry had won first place this year. “It’s unbelievable that I won considering the incredible entries that were submitted,” he said.

That's cool.

My younger brother won an honerable mention award at the state level in the Federal JR Duckstamp Contest a couple years ago for his rendition of a woodduck (pastel medium).
