Welcome to the 2026 National Caricature Carvers of America Competition

The Caricature Carvers of America are thrilled to extend a special invitation for you to participate in the highly anticipated 2026 National Caricature Carving Competition. This is an intense competition where some of the best caricature woodcarving talent is on display, and you’re invited to enter.

Start working on your carvings for this year’s CCA National Caricature Carving Competition.  This year we have incorporated the Ugly Cowboy competition into our regular competition as a category, so prepare those ugly cowboys and bring them with you to enter.  Also, the Themed Category is Cheeseheads & Characters, so be working on your best Wisconsinite.  In the competition we have 17 Categories to participate in, and we have great prizes for each.  Who is going to have the carving that wins Best of Show?

The competition will take place on September 18-20, 2026 in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. The CCA Competition is being held in conjunction with the Wisconsin River Woodcarvers Show and Sale on September 19-20, 2026. Come and be part of the greatest woodcarving show on earth!
