40th Annual Illinois Snow Sculpting Competition Awards

The results are in for the 40th Annual Illinois Snow Sculpting Competition brought to the community by the Rockford Park District!

In all thirteen state teams and ten high school teams participated in this year’s event.

The Illinois Snow Sculpting Competition is a free, family-friendly community winter event organized by the Rockford Park District that draws artists, families, and winter enthusiasts from across the region to showcase large-scale sculptures crafted from compacted snow blocks.

“This competition creates meaningful opportunities for young sculptors to learn from experienced artists, fosters community pride, is a major winter tourist draw, and gives residents and visitors a fun way to enjoy life during the cold winter months,” said Kellie Olivencia, Illinois Snow Sculpting Competition Coordinator.
