Each team member may perform any or all of the tasks required to complete the ice sculpture. No additional personnel are allowed to assist. The dimensions of the ice blocks are approximately 4' x 4' x 3'. Each competition team will have the option of replacing up to two blocks if needed. No assistance will be provided for sculpting or bonding the ice.
Ice is a natural material and no two pieces are exactly alike.
The teams should anticipate using the natural character of the ice to their advantage. Each team will have a designated area in which to work. Teams are responsible for presenting the area and as a minimum must construct ice pillars on which barrier material can be placed. Also, an ice stantion must be constructed for displaying sculpting team information. The viewing public will not be allowed inside the designated sculpting area.
