THEMES ... Plan Ahead!
The theme for Spring 2026 is “It’s a Small World.”
For this contest, the entry should be made from a small gourd and the finished piece must be under 5" in height and width. This theme includes ornaments, but ANYTHING made with a small gourd will qualify as long as it meets the size requirement! Stands or hangers are allowed, as long as the gourd is smaller than 5". Note: Include a ruler in your photo so we can see how big the piece is.
Entry deadline is January 15th
The theme for SUMMER 2026 is Focus on Woodburning/Pyrography.
Show us your burning chops and submit a piece where pyrography is the predominant feature. Color and accessories can be included, but the woodburning is what the judges will be looking for.
