Chetwynd, BC - Chainsaw Sculpture Capital of the Workd

Stan . . .
Chetwynd, BC refers to itself as the Chainsaw Sculpture Capital of the World, and this is just a sampling of the approximately 75-100 sculptures that can be found all over town. Chetwynd annually hosts a chainsaw sculpture contest, inviting 10 sculptors from around the world to enter the competition held over a 4 day period each summer. Chetwynd provides the wood for the sculptors and all of the sculptures must be completed during the competition, and are then judged to determine the annual winner.

All the sculptures remain the property of Chetwynd and are then displayed at various locations throughout the town each year after the close of competition.

Just an old Cowboy.
