TWO Virtual Carving Art Competitions

RICHMOND CARVERS "ARTISTRY IN WOOD"

With the impact of Covid the Richmond Carvers have created a virtual Carving Show & Competition, The Richmond Carvers' "Artistry in Wood" Virtual Carving Show. Deadline for entries May 28.


CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION: ARTISTRY IN WOOD



Wildfowl Carving Magazine’s Third Annual Online Competition

You can start entering this Wildfowl Carving Competition on May 1 with a final deadline of May 31.




CLICK HERE TO ENTER THE WILDFOWL CARVING COMPETITION

A note from the editor of the Wildfowl Carving Magazine:
Aside from all the other things, carvers have seen their favorite shows get cancelled due to the Coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic. We hope that our online competition will help, at least in some way, to fill the gap. And as our way to support the carving community, we have decided to drop the registration fees from $35 to $10, and we will donate 100% of the registration fees to the United Way’s Covid-19 Community Response and Recovery Fund. We hope you will enter your carving and look forward to seeing what the wildfowl carvers out there are creating.
- Tom Huntington, Editor
Wildfowl Carving Magazine


ART COMPETITION

The annual Artist Network Competition deadline is May 20. Wouldn't it be exciting if someone we knew got into the winners' circle!

Join us for Rib Night


Donations for the auction are gladly accepted. This could be your art, or art supplies - or services or items from your favorite businesses. 

Funds raised that night will be used to provide alternate storage for our show display boards that are currently beneath a deck wrapped in a tarp. Our dream is to upgrade our current trailer to a larger one that will hold everything we need to transport to a show.
