This year's event features not one but two incredible Gourd Art Competitions!

The first is the traditional 2009 California Gourd Society Gourd Art Competition, the competition that has been a part of the Gourd Festival since day one and a favorite attraction for festival attendees.

This is an extremely well put-together competition brought to you by the California chapter of the American Gourd Society, and every gourd artist is encouraged to submit their pieces! For details and application, click here!

NEW GourdMaster™ People's Choice Competition

The second is a brand new competition brought to you by GourdMaster™ Products and judged by the people attending the Festival! The GourdMaster™ People's Choice Competition is a fun, new way for anyone and everyone who attends the festival to get involved with the show by being the judges for the competition!

Anyone can enter, and the competition gives artists an incredible opportunity to not only have their work seen by thousands of potential buyers, including gallery owners, but also to win one of the 6 cash prizes or 3 gift certificates awarded to the top chosen pieces!
