Well, our frosty masterpieces have been bamboozled by a cruel and vengeful Mother Nature – they disintegrated, rapidly melting and crumbling, suffering an inelegant demise.

You can still have your say until Tuesday, Jan. 30 at 5 pm when voting will close. If you visited and haven’t had a chance to vote for your favourite Chiseled sculpture, now’s the time!

We were thrilled to welcome back 7 teams of internationally acclaimed ice carving artists for the return of Edmonton’s International Ice Carving Competition, now called Chiseled. Each team had 34 hours and 15 blocks of ice to complete their sculpture.

Between January 18 – 20, 2024, ice was fused, sweat rolled, and creativity reigned at the ICE District Plaza. The carvers were hard at work creating their masterpieces and the judges were deep in deliberation.

Now that the ice shavings have settled we’re excited to announce the winners!
