Ice and snow are being inspired with new life, as talented artists took on sculpturing their ice masterpieces on the mountain slopes of Bansko resort.

The twinkling ice figures are rivaling in the special winter-time contest Finlandia Ice Refresh Event (F.I.R.E.), which is running this year under the motto "Ice and Fire," inspired by the beauty of Aurora Borealis, or the northern lights.

The ice sculpture event, taking place on the Bunderishki Polyani spot near Bansko, will continue through the weekend.
