The Ontario Wood Carvers Association’s 35^th annual competition and show will be on at the Pickering Recreation Complex October 18-19, 2014.

The competition awards prizes at the youth, novice, intermediate and open levels. Special awards — Originality/Creativity, President’s Choice and Carvers’ Choice — bring the total prize value at the event to more than $5,000.

Along with the competition, the show will spotlight the work of a master carver. This year’s featured carver will be Tony Endhoven.

Magic in Wood attracts exhibitors and vendors from across the province. People who have never carved before can try their hand at “You Can Carve”, where they can create a plaque under the watchful eye of a carving instructor. More experienced carvers can attend hands-on workshops, including caricature, relief, architectural and tool sharpening sessions.

Carvers who want to take part in this year’s competition can submit their entry form online or download and print the form at the association’s website: www.ontariowoodcarvers.com/
