Team Fjordwitches, a team of three women from Quebec, Canada, is once again the winner of the World Snow Sculpting Championship, which was held Wednesday through Saturday in downtown Stillwater. Team Fjordwitches — Fanny-Fay Tremblay-Girard, Joelle Gagnon and Marie-Claude-Paris-Tanguay — beat out 15 other teams from around the world to win this year’s competition and a $1,500 prize with their entry, “The Inosculation of Souls.” The team, which was also crowned champion in 2024, also won the Artists’ Choice Award, which had a $500 prize. Team Falcon of Mongolia placed second and won $1,000, and Team Thailand took third and won $500. The People’s Choice Award, which had a $500 prize, went to Team Kawsay of Peru. Teams were judged on creativity, technical execution and overall visual impact, said Robin Anthony-Evenson, president of the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce Foundation.

The sculptures will remain up for viewing in Lowell Park as long as weather permits, she said. For more information, go to www.worldsnowcelebration.com.
