2009 Junior Ice Art Championships Winners!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 14, 2009
The 2009 BP World Ice Art Championships is an international ice sculpture competition held annually in Fairbanks, Alaska and sponsored by Ice Alaska, a non-profit corporation formed in 1990. This is an annual event has been held in Fairbanks, AK each March since 1988, when the tradition of ice sculpture, a feature of the Fairbanks Winter Carnival celebrations held during the 1930’s, was revived. Since 1988, there has been participation by sculptors from more than forty countries, including France, Russia, China, Sweden, Morocco, Malaysia, England, Australia, Japan, Mexico, and Finland. This year, we have over 180 sculptors that will be participating in one of four events.
Local high school students are also afforded the opportunity to compete in their own competition. A small but enthusiastic group competed this year in the Junior Ice Art Championships. Held during the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District spring break, three teams competed in the event that began March 10 and ended March 13. Both experienced sculptors and first-time artists participated. Teams are provided one ice block, 3’ x 5 ’x 4’. The block weighs approximately 3,600 lbs. Once the ice block is placed, the sculpting team may not use motorized equipment to move the block. Experienced artists are on hand to answer questions and offer technical assistance allowed within the competition guidelines. Awards consisting of scholarships and gift certificates are given for both the Realistic and Abstract categories.
Grace Matthews, a junior at West Valley, was awarded first place in the Realistic category for her sculpture, “Bassman”. Grace received a $500 scholarship through the University of Alaska (UA) College Savings Plan (www.uacollegesavingsplan.com). Paul Pharr, a senior attending Raven Correspondence, won second place in the Realistic category for “Locomotion”. Paul received a $300 scholarship through the UA College Savings Plan.
Maggie Black, a sophomore, and Robin Lockwood, a freshman, (both at West Valley) worked together on “Wisdom”, an Abstract piece. Each will receive a $500 scholarship through the UA College Savings Plan.

2009 Junior World Ice Art Championships
If you ask Robin Lockwood and Maggie Black how long they've been ice carving, they will matter-of-factly tell you, "Since Monday". It's three days in of the four day competition, and Robin and Maggie are frank about their inexperience, but you know how for an assignment people say, "Just keep chippin' away?" "It's like that," says Maggie. "Literally."
Robin is a 9th grader while Maggie is in tenth grade. They entered the event because Robin's mom was really interested in the competition and thought it would be great for her daughter and a friend. According to the girls, Robin's mom is very excited to contribute by making the stanchions to keep Ice Park patrons safe. I am forseeing an entry for next year's Amateur Open... Robin and Maggie say that they are like sisters, and they've known each other since age 7. It's been a good bonding experience so far, but like any close relationship miscommunications can occur. However - laughter generally ensues.
As first time competitors, the pair is optimistic but realistic about the event. It's a great experience, and when people ask what they did over spring break, it is fairly unique to say, "I ice carved!" They weren't exactly sure what they were getting into, but as Fairbanks natives, they appreciate the entire championships a lot more. When you are little, your main goal is to get to the slides and the kids' park... and you look at the sculptures because you are told to. However, Robin and Maggie now have a greater understanding for all the work the artists put into their sculptures. Maggie added, "You see it [your design/sculpture] in your mind and then you see the big block of ice... how can you get from Point A to Z?"
At Site 2, you'll find their creation... their work-in-progress. The title of the piece is "Wisdom" and in tribute of the "Frozen Memories - 50 Years of Statehood" theme. An abstract piece, Robin and Maggie hope to create the essence of an owl. In Alaska, the young are taught to respect and learn from our elders and the owl represents that. Perhaps not intentionally, but the owl could also represent the watchful eyes of the girls' parents - via the webcam. I don't blame them... those are some sharp tools! I am glad my amateur site does not have a webcam... even at 25, my mom would be watching my every move. And I'm sure cringing at every use of the chainsaw.
Robin and Maggie however, have the safety procedures downpat. They were happy to explain the safe way to use a chisel to me, and I feel just that more prepared to complete my sculpture. And hey, they are having a blast! If all else fails... "We're winging it!" Owl... wings... get it?
And thank you, thirteen times.
Ice Alaska's 1st Annual Money Melt Down
Here in the Interior, many await "breakup"... when the ice and snow begin to melt and we can see the ground again! At the Ice Park, we have our own version: Ice Alaska's 1st Annual Money Melt Down! As the picture caption states, "The pendulum is tied to the ice bar across the inside of the ice clock. When the bar melts the pendulum will drop and stop the clock." ... Tick... Tock... When will it Drop?
The Prize is 50% of the tickets sold - so the more sold, the bigger the prize! $2 per ticket or $20 per book (ten tickets). Tickets are available at the Ice Park Office, the Ticket Office, or at the Refreshment Counter. For more information you can call the Ice Park Office (451-8250) or Nita (457-2546).

Spring Break is Here!
One might think that following the Single-Block and Multi-Block competitions here at the 2009 BP World Ice Art Championships, the park would be quiet other than patrons and the occasional noise of heavy machinery. On the contrary, there are still two competitions (one on-going and one starting tomorrow) as well as other various additions to the Ice Park.
The Amateur Open brings sculptors of much and no experience together. Which reminds me, my partner and I should probably get moving on our design. It's harder than it looks, but very rewarding once the sculpture starts to take place! There are currently twelve teams and still room if you'd like to participate. You do need to provide your own tools, but let me tell you - once you start carving and sculpting - you'll be hooked!
The Junior World Ice Art Championships start tomorrow and conclude on Friday the 13th. The awards ceremony is on the 14th at 8PM and awards in the form of gift certificates and scholarships are given to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in the Realistic and Abstract Categories. There are currently five teams set to compete. As a teacher, I am pretty impressed that a high school student is willing to give up their spring break to work out in the cold, and definitely give kudos to those students who are participating!
Miniature Golf is our newest addition to the Park! I am told it should be ready to go at any time - I am up for the challenge, how about you? For those of you who have been to Glo-Putt, you may recognize some of the equipment. Blinking golf balls are a lot of fun - and will definitely help you find them if you happen to go out of bounds! Like everything at the Ice Park... it's fun for all ages! The Golf "Green" is located across from the BP Stage, right near the warmup building.Even if you aren't on spring break, come by after work or on Saturday and Sunday to enjoy everything the Ice Park has to offer. Have kids under 12? Grab a copy of the Newsminer on Tuesday and cut out the coupon - on Wednesday all kids under 12 get it for free with that coupon. Saturday is our Wells Fargo Military Appreciation Day, and admission is $5 off with ID. Sunday is our Powerhouse Signs Senior Appreciation Day - those 65 and older receive $5 off admission. Or, buy a season pass and come as much as you'd like! The sculptures are still all in great shape, and waiting for you!

It's good to be a kid!
Never mind that the 2009 BP World Ice Art Championship's Multi-Block Classic is within 12 hours of completion, there is sledding to be done!
Fourth through sixth graders from Arctic Light Elementary visited the Park this morning and although they appreciated the completed Single-Block and the in-progress Multi-Block, all I
heard was, "Mrs. G! Where are the big slides?!?" Before the slides, however... there was a bit of learning to be done. The students asked questions about why the ice was so blue, how long it took for the sculptors to create their masterpieces, and what the heavy machinery was used for in the multi-block. The wind and blowing snow did not keep the kids from running down the long paths, stopping to exclaim, "Wow! That's amazing!" and "I want to be able to do that!". Once they hit the kids' park, it was a clown car situation - how many sixth graders can we fit into the tunnel?Eventually (towards the end of the visit... the slides are a great culmination for a school-age group. Or actually any group, as I've gone sledding every day), we made it to the big slides down at the pond. Picture 100 pairs of eyes growing wide and then 100 pairs of legs moving themselves as fast as they could to take a ride down the smooth ice. The video is of one of the teachers, Mr. Wolfe, letting gravity pull him (quite quickly) to the bottom. Here at the Park, we are looking forward to spring break (9-13 March) and seeing all of the kids (and kids at heart) enjoy what the 2009 BP World Ice Art Championships have to offer!

Lost in the SNOW!
Here we are at day Five of the Multi-Block and the snow is coming down with force. So much so that the Sculptors are loosing their tools in it! Ross, a dedicated volunteer, is walking around with his trusty metal detector helping everyone find their chisels and other metal tools. Good thing we have him around. He found a couple hundred worth of tools so far. Without Ross these tools may have stayed buried until spring. Along with loosing vital equipment in the snow, it adds a dangerous twist. Things get slippery when they get wet and cold, so the Sculptors must watch every step they make on the scaffolding. For the past three years the weather has added a different element to the competition. In 2007 it was below -30 for ten days straight, in 2008 it got above 30 for the week, and this year it is the snow. Leave it to the weather to make things interesting. The neat thing about the snow is that it makes the ice look so blue. It is also means it is warm enough to stay outside and really watch the Sculptors work. As I walked around the park today I was able to really watch how different techniques were accomplished. For instance how an everyday iron was used to really smooth out and make a piece of ice crystal clear and turn it into a prism. Or how a drill could make ice look like a bunch of bubbles. As I was talking to a Sculptor about the bubbles, he told me that a couple years ago each bubble was carved by hand one by one, now it is done with a drill, quick and easy. I guess technology keeps improving in all walks of life.

Multi-Block Day Four
Here we are at Day Four! The progress among the artists is varied, although the vision and planning is evident in all 24 sites. There are two days left in this six-day event, and the weather has been quite agreeable, minus a bit of wind. Throughout my journey with Ice Alaska, several artists have mentioned that -10 to +10 is the perfect weather for sculpting. Luckily Mother Nature has, for the most part, been kind. I had to work yesterday and was unable to stop by the park, but I did keep track of the progress online at icealaska.com (more specifically 2009 Multi-Block Classic Webcams) and clicking in every few hours to see the changes. Heather Brice, a local artist, is featured above.
The Single-Block sculptures are holding up nicely - I highly recommend that you stop by an
d see them both during the daylight hours and at night. The picture here is of "Beautiful Chemistry" and was taken by Kathy McBride, one of the volunteers. Don't forget... these sculptures were created from just one block of ice. Imagine what can be constructed using ten blocks!

Day Two of the Multi-Block
It is Day Two of the Multi-Block Competition, and the 2009 BP World Ice Art Championships even more original and unique than in years past. Sitting in the artists' eating area is fascinating. Conversations vary from what is next in their sculpting plan to how much sleep the artists believe they can run on before they crash. And by crash, I mean the artists... hopefully not the sculptures!
The weather today is colder than yesterday, with a forecasted high of 7 and a low of -8. Around noon, the temps were just below freezing at -2. Luckily, the wind is low and fairly calm.
The sounds of heavy equipment echo down the two rows of Multi-Block Competition. In just 30 hours, massive amounts of progress have been made. There are approximately 100 hours to go and new and veteran sculptors alike are getting into the groove.
