ResortQuest Breckenridge Welcomes the Budweiser Select International Snow Sculpture Championships to Breckenridge

Breckenridge, Colorado (PRWEB) January 20, 2008 -- The snowy mountain town of Breckenridge, Colorado, is eagerly preparing for one of its most famed events of the season: The 18th Annual Budweiser Select International Snow Sculpture Championships. Starting January 22, teams from across the globe will converge in downtown Breckenridge where they prepare to carve stunning works of art from little more than a block of snow. ResortQuest Breckenridge offers a full selection of vacation rentals and lodging packages in both Breckenridge and Keystone, just steps from the event viewing plaza and downtown Breckenridge.

Each year Breckenridge (http://www.resortquestbreckenridge.com) plays host to this event, which draws teams from as far away as Mexico, Norway, Italy and Sweden. A total of 10 teams, representing 17 countries are on tap for this year's competition. Over the course of 5 days, thousands of spectators watch as blank canvases of snow are transformed into everything from whimsical bouquets of enormous flowers to thought-provoking abstract shapes. Rules limit the artists to the strict use of select hand tools and their own creativity and inspiration. No power tools or colorants are allowed.

On January 27, 2007, a panel of judges will award honors to the top four teams, based on the criteria of theme, style and technique. The spectators will then have their moment to speak, with the awards of People's Choice, Kid's Choice and Artist's Choice. A week-long viewing period follows the awards ceremony, with the final viewing commencing on February 4. For more information, visit GoBreck.com.
