27th Snow sculpture competition

The snow is transformed and comes to life through the snow sculpture competition in Selva di Val Gardena. This competition, now in its 27th edition, is an adventure in creativity and originality, where participants challenge themselves by working with a fascinating and intricate medium. The result? Perfect and evocative works that seem to come to life. This competition has now become a tradition, having started in the early '90s. Sculptors and artists, mainly from the valley, who typically work with wood, enjoy three days of creating their giant-sized figures in icy snow. It's a spectacle that you can admire for hours, always discovering new details meticulously carved by the sculptors. This year, the theme of the competition focuses on the lives of farmers and their work, promising to sculpt a fascinating picture of this important aspect of culture. The winners of the snow sculpture competition will be chosen by an expert jury. In addition, a People's Choice Award will be awarded separately. The award ceremony will take place on Saturday, 30 December 2023 at 4 p.m. on the municipal meadow.
