WD: World Interpretive Wood Wildfowl Sculpture (WD)

World Division Wed 22nd Apr 2026 - Sun 26th Apr 2026
Division D-Interpretive Wood Wildfowl Sculpture Entries will be judged on craftsmanship, artistry, interpretation of the essence of the wildfowl and originality. A carving should emphasize form, content and movement rather than a realistic duplication of the wildfowl. It should be presented in a style that provokes thought and wonder. 1. Subject may be entrant's choice of any wildfowl. 2. Entry is to be entirely of wood with the exception of the structural elements and eyes. The base may be of other material and will be considered as part of the sculpture. 3. If a supporting pedestal under the base is needed, it must be provided by the artist and it will not be considered as part of the sculpture. 4. Interpretive Wood Sculpture entries have no size restrictions.

In the six World Divisions, entrants compete for the title of World Champion, a championship ring, and a cash award.

1. Entries must never have entered at the Ward World Championship before.

2. Entries must be original in design and concept. If, after judging, it is determined that this policy has been ignored, the award will be rescinded.

3. Entries are limited to one per Division, per entrant.

4. Species and sex must be designated on the entry. 5. Name of artist should not be visible.
