The Artist's Corner
Welcome to the Annual Chicago Snow Sculpting Competition. We are delighted to have you as a participant!
"In the beginning I was really nervous"
* Am I a good enough artist?
* What tools do I use?
* I don't know any of the other teams. * How do I get started?
"But then I saw how friendly everyone was. They really make you feel welcome, and don't mind sharing. It's awesome!"
Relax. Have fun. We'll take care of you.
The following guidelines will help you have an enjoyable experience.
Admission is free.
