Those interested in submitting their work into the limestone carving contest should contact organizer Terry Kirkman at (812) 797-0867. There will be three categories for the competition; they are People's Choice, Best Overall Carving & Best Amateur Carving. Kirkman said there will be prize money awarded for the winners of each category.
"[Carving] is not as hard as everyone thinks it is... Its just the tools. Everyone says 'Well, I'm not an artist." I think everybody has a little bit of artistic something. You'd be surprised if you had a the right tools and someone to give you a few pointers- its not as hard as it looks," said Kirkman.
