The Town of Yorktown encourages residents to transform some of this weekend’s snowfall into front lawn sculpture.
Yorktown’s Snowman Making Contest challenges artists of all ages to embrace the frost and transform their front yards into galleries of icy art.
“We want to see Yorktown’s lawns filled with personality,” said Supervisor Ed Lachterman. “This contest is a fantastic way for families to get outdoors, work together, and show off our community’s incredible spirit.”
The competition focuses on innovation and imagination. The judges are looking for unique and creative interpretations of snow art. Whether it’s a snow-animal, a favorite character, or an abstract masterpiece, the most creative entry will take home a special prize.
