Summit Holding Snowman, 'Snowcreature' Building Competition: See Details

SUMMIT, NJ — The snow may have stopped falling, but kids around the city will have plenty of help with the cold temperatures all week to build their own winter creation.

The Summit Department of Community Programs is hosting a city-wide traditional snowman and "snowcreature" building competition this week.

One winner will be crowned in both categories. The snowcreature variety includes, but is not limited to, polar bears, penguins, and other animals in an igloo or other habitat.

Builders can enter by submitting pictures to dguidajr@cityofsummit.org. Photos will be posted on the Summit Community Programs Facebook page where they will be put to a vote by the number of likes they receive.

The final tally will be taken at 4 p.m. on Friday, the department said. Winners will receive $30 toward a 2026 Summit Family Aquatic Center membership.

All ages are eligible to enter.
