About Us
(UTNY) is the official taxidermy association of New York State.
UTNY is a network of taxidermists, from youths to masters, who gather once each year in the great state of New York.
The organization brings together this talented group of artists for its annual convention and competition that features educational seminars, one-on-one feedback from renowned judges, special awards, a family banquet, and a vendor and sponsor fair.
What is the UTNY taxidermy show?
The United Taxidermists of New York hosts an annual, weekend-long taxidermy show that includes a convention and competition. You do not have to enter a piece into the competition in order to attend the convention, nor do you have to be a professional taxidermist. Convention attendees can take advantage of seminars, view competition pieces, talk with suppliers, and meet some of the best artists in the business. If you also want to compete, that’s great!
Learn from award-winning taxidermists, improve your skills, and grow your network. Whether taxidermy is your new hobby or you’re operating a full-time business, you’ll benefit from attending the show.
