Ward World Championship Sponsorship Opportunities
The Ward World Championship is the premier carving competition in the World and this is your opportunity to associate your name with this prestigious event.
With the goal of continuing this quality show while at the same time keeping the costs down for the carver, the Ward Foundation is seeking sponsors for the various divisions of the competition, special awards, and educational elements of the Education Conference. As well as paint and wood to help youth create silhouettes at events throughout the year (about $350), kids’ corner, ribbons, signage, venues, and so much more! Help us create an amazing experience for carvers, guests, and volunteers alike!
As a sponsor, your name will reach over 50,000 individuals annually through mailings, website visits, show attendance, and media outreach. Click here for a printable form to mail in your sponsorship!
