Unpretentious but oftentimes taken very seriously, it grants each evening the dimensions of a crazed costume ball. We welcome snowsuits and wacky costumes of every kind ! Of course, we still honour the good old one-piece of past decades. Lacking inspiration? We thought about that! Themes per weekend spice up your wardrobe choices and increase your chances of winning the grand prize! A simple photo-shoot souvenir or a real anthropological happening, the Iglooswag contest has become a tradition that contributes to the magic and singularity of the event. 7
