World Clown Association’s Competitions

The World Clown Association has always provided competitions at each of its conventions.
Through the years, some of the categories have been deleted, others have been added, and
some have had changes in names. Sometimes a category of competition did not have the
minimum required number of contestants. When this happened the competition took place,
but the records indicate “insufficient entries”, where the usual first place winner’s name would
be listed.

The lists contain the first place winner in each competition year for most all of the categories
of competitions that the organization has held.
