Does anyone know of a carving show that encompasses all genre's of carving? If not, why hasn't one been developed? I've been searching the net for anything like that and haven't found anything. Is it possible to cteate a show of this magnitude?

I'd be surprised if it could be done, because there are thousands of carvers in third world countries that sell their wares all over the world through buyers/exporters and get no recognition as Artists. It also costs a great deal to compete in events like this.
There are carving groups who have similar competitions among their members, but it really reflects a very small part of the world carving community. Just my opinion.
