The winners have been announced in the Snow Statue Competition at Michigan Tech’s Winter Carnival. This year’s theme is “Years of Innovation STEM from this Snowy Situation.”
For the second time in the last three years, Phi Kappa Tau was the overall winner of the month-long snow statue competition. Their statue, “Behold For Your Eyes to See, The Glory of Roman Technology,” is located outside of the fraternity house in Hancock.
There were three divisions in the month-long competition—men, women and co-ed. Prizes were awarded to the top three statues in each division. The top three scores among all the statues were placed in the “Overall Month Long” section. This year, the top three scores in the men’s division were also the top three in the overall division.
Second place in the overall division went to last year’s winner Tau Kappa Epsilon for “In Frigid Fields Carved From Snow, A Nation’s Progress Has Yet to be Slow.” Third place again this year went to Delta Sigma Phi, “Paradigm Shifts in These Snowy Drifts.”
In the women’s division, Alpha Sigma Tau grabbed the top spot with “Ford Frozen in Time.” Second place went to Theta Chi Epsilon for “Women of the Past Who Proved the Possibilities are Vast,” while last year’s women’s division winner Delta Phi Epsilon took third place.
The team of Alpha Gamma Delta and Sigma Tau took first place in the Co-Ed division with “The Kennedy Space Center.” They were followed by Delta Zeta and Delta Upsilon in second place for “Magic School Bus”. Third place in the Co-Ed division went to the Four Wheelers of Michigan Tech for “Parking Garage.”
For the third straight year, St. Albert the Great University Parrish was the overall winner in the All-Nighter competition. They also took the top spot in the Co-Ed Division. Construction in the division began at 4 p.m. Wednesday and ended at 9 a.m. Thursday.
The Society of Women Engineers placed second overall and best among the women’s division, while the Lutheran Collegians, competing in the Co-Ed division, took third place overall in the All-Nighter contest.
