You’re invited to team up with your classmates to create an epic snow sculpture at NDC next week, for a chance to win cash and prizes in RRC Polytech’s Snowbuilding Contest.

Our goal is to create a welcoming “snow village” along Route 90 in front of the Jan den Oudsten Vehicle Technology and Research Centre (VTRC) and near the main entrance off Notre Dame Avenue.

Teams from EDC are encouraged to come to NDC to make use of provided space and snow.

The winning team at NDC will split $1000 and the runners-up will be awarded $500. Regardless of your campus, you are invited to participate. Eight more prizes of $250 will be won by participating teams selected at random. If you register and submit an entry your team will be entered in the draw so everyone has a chance to cash in – Snow Me the Money!

Deadline to register is Friday, February 10th at noon.

Snow building for the contest can take place at assigned locations any time between February 13 at 8:00am and February 16 at 12:00pm.

You must register properly to be eligible to win prizes. Assemble your team, collect each member’s email address and decide on a team name. Elect a team captain who will formally register your group.
