Cast Your Vote for the Ay Up Me Duck Trail

The Ay Up Me Duck Trail is coming to Amber Valley in early 2026, and the public vote is officially live. This is your chance to help choose which giant duck sculptures will make up the final flock.

Artists have submitted a brilliant mix of designs — bold, quirky, colourful, thoughtful and everything in between. From the shortlist, eight winning ducks will be chosen to transformed into full-size sculptures for the trail. Your vote helps decide which ones make the cut.

Head to www.visitambervalley.com/inspire-me/ay-up-me-duck-trail/public-vote/ , scroll through the designs and pick your favourites. Each choice must be different, and once you submit your choices, your vote feeds directly into shaping the trail.

Public art trails work best when the community has a hand in creating them, and this vote does exactly that. When the ducks land in 2026, you’ll be able to spot the ones you championed proudly dotted around the towns.

Take a moment, have a browse, cast your vote and spread the word. The ducks are waiting — go choose the flock.
