Snow Sculpture Contest

Thank you to all 2009 Snow Sculpture Contest participants and congratulations to our winners! We hope to see you at Winter Jam NYC 2010.

The 2009 Winter Jam Snow Sculpture Contest celebrates the spirit of winter and creative outdoor activities! Contestants are asked to use their imagination and create unique snow sculptures (for example: snow castles, snowmen, and igloos are all welcome). The winner of each round will be announced based on the creativity of their Snow Sculptures and will win exciting prizes.

Snow Sculpture Contest Pre-Registration

• Everyone is welcome to register for the contest.
• Due to space limitations, we are capping the total number of entries at 50 (up to 10 entries per round). Entries will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.
