MISSION STATEMENT
Our goal, as the Tri-Cities Wood Carvers Association, is primarily to promote and advance
the Art of Wood Carving while encouraging Wood Burning, Intarsia, Woodturning,
Marquetry, and Scrollwork, as well as carving in other media.
To reach this goal, the Association will promote advancement of all carving techniques
through carving classes of a formal and informal nature, providing a positive environment
for those wishing to learn this form of art. By sponsoring an annual juried competition,
carvers are encouraged to enter their carved works for an assessment of skill, critiques of
workmanship and an opportunity to display their art to the public. Every effort will be
made to provide knowledgeable, qualified and impartial judges so that through these
critiques wood carvers can grow and diversify their skills in creating a personalized Artistry
in Wood.
A MESSAGE FROM THE SHOW COMMITTEE
Welcome to our Twenty Second Annual Juried Exhibit and Sale. Thanks to you, our
exhibitors, we continue to improve and expand our show and awards. In addition to
providing a forum for carvers to compete, this show is the primary support for our annual

carvers. Join us at the 19th Annual Wood Carver’s Rendezvous June 10-12, 2016 (see

RULES AND REGULATIONS
The carving clubs in the Northwest and British Columbia, Canada have joined in an effort
to standardize terms and meaning of rules and regulations in order to offer each of you a
less confusing and more equitable arena in which to enter your carvings, no matter which
show you are entering. Noncompliance with the following will cause a carving not to be
judged.
ELIGIBILITY – This is an open show and everyone is eligible to enter under the
following guidelines.
ENTRY FEES – $3.00 per entry except when classified as Section VII (page 13).
ENTRY LIMITS – A limit of two entries in the same numbered category by the same
competitor. There is no limit on the total number of carvings a carver can enter in the
show.
REPEAT ENTRIES – No work submitted should be more than two years old. A
competitor may repeat an entry from previous shows or previous year to see if a better
award can be won, unless the carving won a “Best of Division” in which case, the
carving needs to be moved up one skill level the following calendar year. Carvings
more than two years old may be brought for display only and sale. (Section VII,
category 700). Bring and display as many of your past show carvings as possible.
Fellow carvers and the paying public would enjoy seeing your work.
NAME(S) – All carvings must be registered in the name of the Competitor. If the
carving is the work of two or more people then all names must be on the registration
entry and on any place cards during the show. All group carvings will be entered at
the skill level of the most advanced carver.
ENTRY SKILL LEVELS – Each individual carver is expected to read the show
rules and determine their skill level. The carver will move up when sufficient awards
have been won and show rules direct. Should a novice or intermediate carver enter a
piece above their competition level and it places third or better, the carver must move
to the higher skill level the next show year (January 1), with the exception of the
advanced level (See Advanced). Once established at a skill level a carver cannot step
down to a lower skill level.
ENTRY CATEGORY CHANGES – The show committee may change an entry to a
more appropriate Section, Division, or Category if deemed necessary, for equality of
the competition. If there is only one entry in a category, the carving may be moved,
by the show committee, to another or mixed category. Seasoned carvers or carvers
competing for the first time are encouraged to enter competition no higher than the
intermediate level.
6
1. RECOGNIZED SKILL LEVELS (CLASSES) – The show committee will
recognize the following levels of competition; JUNIOR, NOVICE,
INTERMEDIATE, ADVANCED (previously OPEN), and EXPERT.
TWO JUNIOR ENTRY LEVELS – No entry fees for juniors age 9 and under;
and 10 to 16. If two first place awards have been received at this level the carver
is encouraged but not required to enter at the novice level.
NOVICE: A NOVICE carver has grasped the basics of carving and uses a
limited variety of tools. The novice learns to create form in his or her work and
the need for effective presentation of the carving. A certain degree of eye appeal
is necessary to earn awards at this level. The NOVICE level is the appropriate
entry for beginning carvers who are developing their skills. The carver remains
at this level until winning three (3) Best of Division awards on three different
carvings or a Best of Class.
INTERMEDIATE: An INTERMEDIATE carver is one who is moving to more
complicated work and displays considerable skill in his or her work. The
INTERMEDIATE carver understands basic carving techniques, uses tools with
confidence, coordinates a habitat and includes more detail in carvings than at the
NOVICE level. In addition, painting and finishing of the carving takes on more
importance and contributes to the overall artistry of the piece. INTERMEDIATE
is an appropriate entry point for seasoned carvers who are entering competition
for the first time and whose work reflects skills consistent with this skill level.
The individual who is entering competition at this level should believe that his or
her work is of a quality to compete at this level. After winning four (4) Best of
Division awards at the INTERMEDIATE level on four (4) different carvings, the
carver moves to the ADVANCED level.
ADVANCED: The ADVANCED level carver produces work that reflects
creativity, difficulty, craftsmanship and accuracy. Awards are more difficult to
achieve, as the expectations are higher. An ADVANCED level carving also
reflects excellence in carving, finishing technique, originality and the
presentation of the piece as an art form. A seasoned carver may enter the
ADVANCED category by approval of the show committee, but upon winning a
first place or Best of Division award, CANNOT step down in skill level. Upon
winning five (5) Best of Division awards at the ADVANCE level on three (3)
different carvings, in three (3) different shows, the carver moves to the EXPERT
level.
EXPERT: The EXPERT level reflects excellence in the art of carving.
Technical and artistic attention and care are reflected in all areas of the piece. At
the EXPERT level, the artist more readily captures its essence and has advanced
the art of carving with new and innovative creations. The EXPERT carver could
display expertise in one section or a variety of sections. An individual will
achieve a designation of EXPERT for a specific section by winning a blue ribbon
within that section while competing at the EXPERT level. After achieving the
status of EXPERT in one section, the carver may continue to compete at the
ADVANCED level in sections where EXPERT status has not been achieved.
This means that a carver may simultaneously enter pieces at the EXPERT and
7
ADVANCED levels but in different sections of the competition. When the
EXPERT has obtained at least four (4) blue ribbons at the EXPERT level, one
each out of the six (6) possible sections, the MASTER Carver designation will be
bestowed.
MASTER CARVER - Achieving MASTER CARVER status is the pinnacle of
carving expertise. MASTER CARVER is not a level of competition but rather an
honor bestowed on an individual reflecting his or her achievements. The
MASTER is able to produce EXPERT carvings in several styles and sections of
competition. To achieve MASTER CARVER status, a carver must earn the
EXPERT designation in at least four (4) of the six (6) sections of competition
plus a minimum of one blue ribbon in each of the same sections while at the
EXPERT level.
2. SEMINAR CARVINGS - Carvings done in a class project or seminar by Novice
or Intermediate carvers will be entered in the appropriate Category. However,
Carvings done in a class project or seminar by Advanced or Expert carvers will
be entered only in Category 710. These are carvings (Category 710) that will not
be judged but will be displayed so that a carver can obtain a critique from one of
the expert judges and improve their understanding of the process.
3. JUDGES AND JUDGING - A judge’s determination shall be final and not
subject to review. The judges will be available to provide an oral critique of
entries at the carver’s request. Judges should be available all day Saturday and
until noon on Sunday. A clerk, recorder or assistant is not to make reference to
any piece or attempt to influence the judges or the judging. A comment sheet
will be completed for each carving
JUDGES ARE INSTRUCTED AS FOLLOWS - Judging at the Novice level
will be for encouragement and growth, carvings will be judged against each other
and judges are to be generous with first, second, third and honorable mention
ribbons. Carvings in the Intermediate level will have higher expectations but
awards may reflect encouragement. Carvings in the Advanced and Expert level
will be judged at the highest standards with carvings receiving ribbons only when
judges feel they have been earned. More than one Blue/Red/White ribbon may
be awarded in each category if warranted. Judges are encouraged to award
second and third place ribbons at this very difficult level rather than disregard a
carving entirely. In the Expert class, more than one blue ribbon per category may
be awarded.
THE JUDGING PROCESS-The process of judging is a consideration of the
following criteria: originality, craftsmanship, design and artistry.
ORIGINALITY - Creative or unusual interpretation of a subject.
CRAFTSMANSHIP - Cleanliness of cuts, execution of detail, surface treatment,
application of color and finish and use of wood grain.
DESIGN – Correctness of anatomy (size, proportions and color). Positioning of
components making up the composition.
8
ARTISTRY – Overall effect to create artistic appeal.
4. HANGERS - All hanging pieces must have sturdy wires or hanging devices
securely fastened or have a table stand provided by the carver.
5. LIABILITY - The Tri-Cities Wood Carvers Association, any officer or member,
the hosting facility or an employee cannot be held responsible for any loss or
damage due to any cause before, during or after the show. The club, officers, or
members cannot be held responsible for any checks issued for sales of carvings or
supplies during the show.
6. SPECIAL DISPLAY - Arrangements must be made in advance of the show
dates for special handling or other attention required especially for large, unusual,
or chain sawed pieces.
7. ACCEPTABILITY - Everyone is reminded this is a family show so the carver is
asked to use good judgment in regard to any entry. Generally nudes are not
considered to be in good taste.
8. LASER ART/SAND BLAST/COMPUTER GENERATED ART - Will be
accepted for display only.
9. A carving with 25%+ painted is considered painted. A natural finished carved
piece must allow all of the grain to show through any finish.
10. Allowable parts of a carving in addition to wood:
Novice – Anything is permissible-but remember that only the wood carving is
being judged.
Intermediate/Advanced/Expert – Materials other than wood are permissible in a
minimal quantity. As a carver moves from class to class, less and less non-wood
items should be used.
11. If different type carvings are on one piece, the highest percentage of carving type
will dictate where the piece will be placed.
12. Any problem, disagreement, complaint or comment may be filed in writing with
the show committee for review.
13. Happy Holiday carving. After judging is completed, the show committee will
move all holiday themed carvings to a special table for public judging.
