Nuuk Snow Festival 2009 has been cancelled !

The Steering Committee behind the Nuuk Snow Festival has decided to cancel this year’s event. The Steering Committee wishes to use its resources to plan for an ice sculpting festival to take place during winter of 2010.

The decision to change the Snow Festival to an Ice Sculpting Festival is due to the changing climate affecting Greenland, conditions which have resulted in warmer than usual winters during the last five years in Nuuk.

An Ice Sculpting Festival will facilitate the opportunity for Nuuk to promote both the event and the City to a national  and international audience and especially to future participants of the Ice Sculpting Festival competition.

2009 will be used to plan and determine how this new event is going to be organized and promoted. The Steering Committee expects some preliminary information on the Ice Sculpting Festival to be released  during the summer. Solid news of the upcoming Ice Sculpting Festival will be available sometime during autumn.

Sincerely
The Steering Committee for the Nuuk Snow Festival
