Who we are

We are the International Whistlers Guild. Where whistlers unite!
IWG is the official organization representing all whistlers from around the world.

What we do

IWG represents whistlers from around the world. We organize world-wide competitions to promote whistlers and the art of whistling. We also provide guidance and help to anyone looking to learn more about whistling.

Why we do it

IWG was founded by young ambitious whistlers with the aim of reaching the farthest corners of the globe to find hidden musical talents and bring them to light. We have a passion for whistling and are doing our part to share it with the world.
