The 15 year-old Nastav is home-schooled and has been studying art with Susan Harding for several years. Nastav, from Amoret, Mo., entered for two years in a row and won the Missouri State Junior Duck Stamp Contest earlier this year.
Each state holds competitions from February to mid-April, and the winners of each state contest compete in the Federal Junior Duck Stamp Contest. Judges for the Junior Duck Stamp Contest included Sherrie Russell Meline, winner of the 2006 Federal Duck Stamp art competition.
