The show is an event where carvers, collectors, and visitors convene in Astoria, Oregon.  From highly decorative works of art to functional hunting decoys, about 400 different carvings from around the United States and Canada can be viewed. 

Woodcarvers of all levels – from youth to novices to world champions – compete against their peers for the chance to win prize money and ribbons. There are over 50 different categories in which an artist can compete. The show is a waterfowl, wildlife, fish, native American, Artistic Creations, and other wood carving competitions and art show.

The show's purpose is to promote these art forms.

Artists from all over come to compete and display their art forms. Most artists are from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, Montana, and British Columbia although there are artists from all over the United States and Canada in attendance. Mail-in entries are also accepted.

After 32 years in the Portland/Vancouver area, the 2022 show moved to the 15,000 square feet, state-of-the-art, Clatsop County Fairgrounds and Expo Center in Astoria, Oregon.

Plan to join us on September 22- 24, 2023.

See you there!
