Oak Hammock Marsh Carving Guild will be hosting our 17th annual Decoy Competition on September 16 & 17, 2023.  This event will take place at Oak Hammock Marsh Discovery Centre.

It is our goal to keep the history of the Traditional Gunning Decoy as accurate as possible.  There will be two Gunning Decoy Divisions: Traditional Hunting/Working Style and Contemporary Style, all life-size floating, all competing for Best of Show 

There are 5 purchase awards: carved duck head, contemporary shorebird, antique-style shorebird, half to full-sized songbird and cocktail bird, duck or decoy carving.

Other categories: rest of the marsh, stylized representations of the marsh, non-floating decorative ducks and vintage decoy class.
