The competition begins with “pound up” on Thursday, July 9 when the sculptors build and fill their forms. Once their forms are filled and the sculptor feels they are solidly packed, they may remove their forms and begin to carve.
Gates open to the public to watch the sculptors carving starting Friday, July 10, at 2:00pm.
Judging will take place on Sunday, July 12, from 3:00-4:30pm and the winners will be announced on-site at approximately 5:00pm.
Missed the competition? No need to worry! You can visit the exhibition from July 13 through to August 16, 2026. Gate is open from 9:30am...more info
