The winners of the 32nd annual International Snow Sculpture Championships — hosted in the town of Breckenridge — were announced Friday, Jan. 27, capping off a 94-hour challenge that saw teams of artists from around the world hand-carve towering structures amid bitterly cold temperatures. Awards were presented by Toyota officials during a ceremony Friday night hosted in the Riverwalk Center.
Team Bavaria (Germany) won the gold medal for their sculpture, “Sub-Zero-Gravity.” The design is “inspired by the concepts of concrete art and minimalism and plays not only with the nature of the snow in its given circumstances, but even more with its gravitational properties,” according to a press release from Lauren Swanson, public relations director for the Breckenridge Tourism Office.
Team Breckenridge (USA) won silver for their “Ullr” sculpture while Team Lithuania won bronze for their piece, “Warn(m)ing Clouds Intersect.”
