#IGLOOSWAG CONTEST
A popular symbol of Igloofest’s festive spirit, the hotly anticipated Iglooswag costume contest has grown to unexpected
proportions over the years. 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.
