Description

The International Wildfowl Carvers Association, better known as IWCA, is the outgrowth of a group of carvers from all parts of the country who met in 1986 to find a way to establish competition rules and procedures that would be uniformly fair for all carvers. The organization was officially formed in 1988 with a mission to promote development of wildlife art and the uniquely American art of the decoy. In 1999, the rules were expanded to include fish carving. In 2001, canvas decoy rules were added and in 2002, working decoy rules were adopted. In 2007 a Shorebird Championship was added and in 2009, the first YOUNG GUNS Championship was held. IWCA
