Another early start with the large sculpture competition kicking off at 9am. The Aussies had entered & had until 12 noon the following day to complete it (that's around 27 hours! Believe me, all the entrants used all the time they were permitted) I'll let the pictures tell the story...

About half way through the competition, still united in our green shirts & sporadic Aussie chanting. |

Around 4am, holding up the sunset backdrop to check it all fits in perfectly. |

A close up of the sculpture. So many unique techniques involved, I loved how varied it was! |

The finished product! What an huge accomplishment! Our first international competition piece as an Australian team. We scored a bronze achievement & most importantly learnt so much from each other about planning, design & various techniques. |
Here are some of the other large sculpture entries from various countries, including Russia, Japan & Italy. Some really impressive work, the only word I could say was WOW! Don't forget, there are plenty more photos on the Facebook page for your browsing pleasure!
