CARVING SHOW April 12, 2025
To All our carving friends and clubs.
We are planning on a show April 12, 2025. The Purchase Awards in 2025 are
Water Fowl – Working Decoy Duck any species (will be floated)
IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR “DUCK” DECOY PURCHASE AWARD PARTICIPANTS
The Q.W.C.A. executive has decided to flex on the breadth of the “Duck” Decoy Purchase Award parameters to include Confidence birds in the duck decoy category. Based upon some confusion expressed to us, the advice from judges, experienced decoy entrants and the “automatic” inclusion of confidence birds in other reputable shows, we thought that, in fairness to all, the issue had to be clarified. Hence the inclusion of confidence birds this year. We hope this may also encourage even more entrants to join our show. Thank you for you understanding and support. We are looking forward to seeing you at our show in April.
And
General – Wood Burning Maximum size 18″ x 18″
Carving Show Entry Form
quinte-wood-carvers-Entry-Form-single (1)
We are also allowing any carvings that have not been in any previous Quinte woodcarving competitions no matter what year they were carved.
On behalf of the Quinte Woodcarvers club we hope everyone stays healthy and safe and we will see you in April.

While not a carver myself, I have really enjoyed this show in the past and encourage everyone to attend. The inclusion of carver clubs from the edges of Quinte, (including Bobcaygeon and others) adds to the range of examples and show entries. The beautiful, extraordinary works on display by aspiring and world-class carvers are really amazing. I especially enjoy the wildlife carvings. Who knows, the show could even inspire spring and summer to get here more quickly ! This is a few hours well spent indeed – plan to attend with the whole family! Lyle Bunn, Brighton.
Has the date for the 2017 show been set?
the date is april 8 2017
In 2016 there were a number of Youth entry carvings. However, I did not see any pictures or mention of them in the 2016 winners. I think having them included with the rest of the winners would be a great encouragement.
the youth are listed between cat 22 (bench class and the purchase award
How much is your pre-registration fee? I couldn’t find it anywhere…
first carving is $10 all others are $5 each purchase award carving is $15
What is the criteria for the 2018 purchase award: general wood burning of a mammal? Any size restrictions or can it be a head of a mammal or the entire animal?

I’ve email but no reply .
just missed the 2023 show … can anyone tell me the name of the paint you use to paint the decoys.. I have a couple loons that need painting.. black and white .. Who carries the paint.?
What category would a Wood Spirit be registered in?
Wood Spirits would probably go into novelty or relief depending on how they are carved .
Is this competition for Ontario only, or do you have people come from across Canada?
Our show is for anyone who would like to come. We have had mostly people from Ontario, Canada but have some people from Quebec enter our competition.
