If you think you have what it takes to be a cabinet maker, why not take part in the 2012 Apprenticeship Contest offered by the Ontario chapter of the Architectural Woodwork Manufacturers Association of Canada.
This year’s event will be held at the Humber Centre for Trades and Technology in Toronto.
There is a $20 registration fee that will be refunded to contestants on the day of the competition. The competition is limited to 10 contestants on a first come, first served basis.
The first place winner will receive $500 with second and third place finishers receiving $250 and $100 respectively.
Registration deadline is March 15.
The contest offers contestants a chance to show off their woodworking skills and compete with their peers for cash prizes and get their name known in the industry.
The winning project from the Ontario event will automatically be sent to AWMAC’s National Convention where it will be judged for a national award.
The contest is open to apprentices and or recent graduates.
Each competitor will receive drawings and instructions one week on advance of the contest.
