UPCOMING DATES - 2021/2022

LOGO DESIGN COMPETITION

We are planning to update our LOGO and are looking to our membership to help. We want you to get your creative juices flowing and send us your ideas for WOHDA’s new logo. We want to ensure that we are inclusive of every dancer in Highland Dance. We will showcase all entries. Once the executive has our chosen winner, it will be taken to a professional artist to be turned into our new logo.


Please note, there could be some minor changes for aesthetic reasons if deemed necessary by the artist finishing the project.

We would like to have all Logo entries in by August 31, 2021, please submit entries to wohdadance@gmail.com

Please note that the Logo will become the property of WOHDA.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations to our President, Leslie MacDougall, on achieving Honorary Membership status in WOHDA! Leslie became WOHDA President in 2010 and has been extensively involved in the organizing of all our WOHDA Competitions and Championships.
