Adam Grimm
In 1999, at the age of 21, artist Adam Grimm became the youngest artist to ever win The Federal Duck Stamp, a prestigious wildlife art competition and the only juried art show run by the U.S. government. With his promising win, Grimm left college and chose to pursue his art career full time, eventually becoming the featured artist for the Millennium Duck Stamp, winning state duck stamp contests and having his artwork featured in a variety of national campaigns with the National Wild Turkey Federation, Ducks Unlimited and more. Grimm and his work are featured in the film The Million Dollar Duck (Mountainfilm 2016). He resides with his family in South Dakota, and, in 2013, his 6-year-old daughter won the South Dakota Junior Duck Stamp competition, becoming the youngest person to win the award.
