Which sculpture rates best in 2013?

Once again one of the main attractions at the Kenora Winter Carnival is the snow sculpture competition. In a post last year, we asked which 2012 snow sculpture you liked best. It was hard to choose. The theme this year is 'Lake Life'. Here are the 8 sculptures from the 2013 Kenora Winter Carnival.

#1 - Q104 Boat

#2 - Frog

#3 - Ice Fishing

#4 - Chair

#5 Eagle

#6 - Snowmobile

#7 - Mermaid

#8 - Women of Courage 

#9 - Bear/Bird/Wolf

Check out what else is happening at the 2013 Kenora Winter Carnival. The carnival runs from March 1-3, with the judging for the sculptures taking place on Friday evening.

It's going to be another hard year of judging, which one do you think should go home with first place?

UPDATE: #7, the Mermaid won first prize. I thought they were all great. Thanks to everyone who participated.
