I heard back from Handel Productions, the company that produced the documentary, Winning for a Living. They have chosen not to make the film available on DVD, nor with they offering it for sale to American media as it has a Canadian focus.
It has been re-run on the Doc Zone and it may possibly be seen on the Documentary Channel.

The documentary that was filmed last summer about the hobby of contesting and featured contestors from across Canada, will be airing on CBC Thursday March 6th at 9pm on the Doc Zone.
Bonnie, of the T.O. Wanna Winners, won the Name The Documentary contest at the convention. Her winning entry? In It To Win It! Sadly, the CBC chose not to use her entry, and instead called the documentary Winning for a Living. I feel their choice immediately gives off the wrong impression of what contestors are really like and why we enter. Thankfully, the project was lead by an award winning director, Nadine Pequeneza, so I believe the hobby, the people and the convention will only be shown in the best possible light.
So, mark your calendars, set your PVRs, and get set to see this hobby the way it’s never been seen before!
