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.
