Chiseled - Edmonton's International Ice Carving Competition
Jan. 18, 2024 to Jan. 20, 2024
Chiseled is an exciting International carving competition that takes place over two days where carvers produce fantastical, gravity-defying ice sculptures.
Activate Arts Alberta (formally Ice on Whyte) is pleased to announce the return of Chiseled - Edmonton's International Ice Carving Competition to the ICE District Plaza January 18 – 20, 2024. Seven two-person teams have 34 hours to create magnificent 15-block ice sculptures. The scale, talent, and precision are something to behold.

This year's winner will receive an invitation from the World Ice Carving Association to be a part of the International Ice Festival Madrid-Torrejon for the 2026 Winter Olympics.
You can watch these winter masterpieces come to life by visiting the ICE District Plaza on the competition days according to the following schedule: - Thursday January 18 - 8am to 10pm - stacking blocks and carving begins - Friday January 19 - 8am to 10pm - carving day - Saturday January 20 - 8am - 2pm - finishing touches and details.
