Algonquin Outfitters' Paddle Art Contest

Algonquin Outfitters is celebrating their 55th anniversary (1961-2016) and Tom Thomson’s 100 Anniversary of his death in Algonquin Park (1917-2017) by hosting a Paddle Art Contest.

A $25 entry fee starts you on your way with either an unfinished paddle blank or a rough paddle blank for carving. Paint, cut, burn or sculpt until you create your masterpiece and drop it off at Algonquin Outfitters before Aug 31st, 2017.

A live (and online) auction will take place in September and and funds raised will go to their supported charities. Prizes from their prize pool (a minimum of one prize will be added for every 25 paddles received) will be awarded to the artists of the paddles that raise the most at auction.
