I thought it might be fun, before they hand out awards tomorrow, to see what your favorite sculptures are in the single block competition at the Ice Art Championships. This year, the webcams are good enough to really see what the sculptures look like. For a list of the cam links, click here. Awards usually go to fifth place in the Realistic and Abstract categories, but I went with my top three in each. Check out all the sculptures, then add your favorites to the comment section below (you don’t have to put your name) and we’ll see who’s pieces look the best on webcam and how it matches up to the final results. Awards are tomorrow at 7pm CST, so don’t wait to vote!

My favorites (based on the webcams):

Realistic

1. 1)Heads Up, site 14
   

2. 2)Got You, site 12
   

3. 3)Stop-Motion, site 01
   

Abstract

1) Reaching Towards my Goals, site 21

2. 2)Purete, site 11
   

3. 3)Day & Night, site 32
   

The following comment was on the original blog entry. After some technical difficulties, I had to reconstruct the blog, and this was the only way to keep the original comments.

3. Mighty Griffin  Site 31

Abstract

Personally, I think that there were too many realistic entries and not enough Abstract. Nice contest though. Can't wait to see the Multiblock Contest!
