Hey kids - get started now! Entries from children participating in the March 10, 11, 2018 ODCCA Youth Silhouette Contest will be eligible to compete in the prestigious 2018 Ward World Carving Championship, April 27-29, 2018 in Ocean City, Maryland. ODCCA will assist in the delivery of all winning entries to the Ward Show. According to the Ward World committee, “The competition is to encourage Youth to become engaged in the art form of wildfowl carving, provide a venue to present their carvings to the public, and give them the competition experience. Entries may be done under the supervision of an adult, but the Youth must do the carving and painting.” “Everyone is very excited in making this opportunity available to children to compete at the state and international level,” said Bob Lund, ODCCA President. “We are going to use the same rules and specie selected by the Ward World Committee. ODCCA will assist entries from our show to be entered in Ward show.” The concept of the silhouette competition is simple and yet challenging. The RED KNOT has been selected as the 2018 competition bird. Entries can be done as a group project or as an individual. One entry per person. Each age group will be judged 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Best in Group. Age groups at the time of the Ward World registration are: 16 – 17 years of age; 12 – 15; 11 and under. 1. This year's Red Knot pattern and rules will be available on the Ward Museum website at: www.wardmuseum.org. Other patterns may be used. 2. Entries are to be made of wood, one inch thick or less and may be life-size or less in size. 3. Edges may be rounded; wing and bill definition permitted. 4. Glass eyes are permitted. 5. Must be mounted on a simple base with a wood or metal dowel. 6. Entries should be realistically painted. Good Luck Kids! For more information contact Bob Lund at woodcountydecoy@msn.com |
