WEATHER
The Boardwalk Ice on Whyte Festival’s competition will be held in a giant tent. This will mitigate conditions

made at the orientation by the judges and artists. This decision is final and will be adhered to by the
competitors for the duration of the competition.

In order to ensure the safety of all participants, health and safety
measures are applicable for this event. Artists must wear personal
protective equipment. Safety boots, pants or chaps with ballistic nylon

any other relevant health and safety equipment are strongly
recommended.
The judges are aware of the importance of health and safety at this
event and, should a lack of personal protective equipment or dangerous
work methods be noted, they will issue warnings which may result in point reduction or disqualification.
