The votes are in, and the winner of the 2015 Long John Jamboree’s ice carving contest has been announced.
Japanese carver Junichi Nakamura, alongside team-mate Shinichi Sawamura, won with a giant mosquito entitled “Bzzzz”.
Nakamura became the Jamboree’s first overseas-based contestant following the withdrawal of contenders from Malaysia and Mongolia over visa issues.
