Last Minute Leather Shootout

Aug 7-9, 2026

Competitions for advanced, beginner, and youth leatherworkers. This contest is intended to replicate a real world scenario where we as craftsmen and craftswomen don’t always have an abundant amount of time to plan out and create a perfect project. This project must be completed between the date of the announcement and the due date. This year, we are not giving out an entire project, forcing everyone to make the exact same project. However, there are guidelines and rules which the project must fall within to be a valid entry.

Details will be announced July 1; artists MUST preregister online with the Leather Crafter’s Journal by Thursday, July 28th; judging on Wednesday, Aug. 5; artwork displayed during the trade show Friday, Aug. 7 and Saturday, Aug. 8.
