2012-Salmon Stamp Competition

Vancouver wildlife artist Bill Munsie has won the honor of having his painting “displayed on the 2013/2014 Recreational Fisheries Conservation stamp known as the “Salmon Stamp.”
 Munsie’s “River Run” was selected at the Pacific Salmon Foundation’s annual art competition by a panel of eleven artists and conservationists.  This year will mark Munsie’s sixth time winning the competition and a step-up from his second place win last year.  Tofino-based Mark Hobson placed second and Vancouver’s Tak Shoji placed third.  The event was also highlighted by the fourth place finish of teenage wildlife artist Jimmy Ke who is the youngest artist ever to enter the competition.
 The “Salmon Stamp”, is a $6.00 postage-stamp sized decal that must be purchased annually by anglers if they wish to keep Pacific salmon caught in saltwater off Canada’s west coast.  Since 1989, proceeds from the stamp have provided $6.45 million for 1,363 volunteer-driven salmon projects in British Columbia.
