This Category contains links to information about upcoming taxidermy conventions.
If you are a beginner, and you want an excellent way to learn more than you thought possible in a few short days, make a date to attend a taxidermy convention in your area. You'll see examples of innovative, artistic taxidermy work in the competition, learn about the latest techniques in the seminars, and enjoy the fellowship of meeting new friends with similar interests. Attending a convention is the BEST way to see what the world of taxidermy is all about.
Before making plans to attend any of these conventions, you should check with the contact person for any changes. If there is not a scheduled event near you, come back and recheck this section at a later date. Almost every state has an annual taxidermy competition, and the dates for some have not yet been finalized. Most taxidermy conventions are held between February and August, with the majority scheduled for March, April and June.
