Get ready to catch some serious winter vibes in Harbin 📍! On Sunday, the 18th International Collegiate Snow Sculpture Contest kicked off at Harbin Engineering University in mainland China’s Heilongjiang Province. This epic event has students trading lecture halls for frosty fields as they carve massive snow masterpieces ❄️✨.
This year, 46 university teams from China and beyond landed in Harbin to push their creativity to the limit. Think engineering meets art: students from architecture, design and engineering majors huddling over blocks of snow, fine-tuning their blueprints, and putting their hands (and tools) to work in real winter conditions 🛠️❄️.
Since its debut in 2009, the competition has become the go-to playground for collegiate snow sculptors. It’s not just about the final selfie-ready sculptures; it’s about the process—planning, carving and iterating on the fly. Talk about hands-on experience that doubles as an extreme brain workout 🧠💪!
Whether you’re into creative STEM projects, looking for some Insta inspo, or just curious about how a tiny idea turns into a towering snowwork, this contest delivers on all fronts. Stay tuned for the winners and get inspired to chill out with your own winter project ❄️😉.
