Carving Competition Features New Events

OCEAN CITY — Bird carving has evolved from its utilitarian beginnings as a tool for hunting, into a fine art which is coveted by celebrities and avid collectors alike. These carvings mimic wildfowl species such as red tail hawks, bald eagles, saw whet owls, wood ducks and hundreds of other wildfowl species from around the globe.
Now in its 42nd year, world-class artists from the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia will return to Ocean City to showcase their carving skills at the Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition and Art Festival. The Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art, Salisbury University, hosts the competition, which will take place at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center beginning today through Sunday.
