Congress 2027 Judges

This year's judges are Ryan Olsen, Bruce Shostak, and—new this year—Karen Henderson. Together, these judges bring over 60 years of carving experience and knowledge in multiple unique carving styles. AWC is excited to have two long-time supporters of the Congress judge the 60th anniversary event, alongside a newcomer  joining this elite group.

They will judge on Monday and Tuesday, followed by the judges' critique on Saturday, June 19th at 11:30 AM. This session is a valuable opportunity to hear their insights on the pieces, learn how to improve your work, and find out who wins the People's Choice Award. Don't miss it!
