Headline: Finalists For 2020 Hair-Freezing Competition

Caption: These are the finalists for the 2020 frozen hairstyle contest. Takhini Hot Springs (current air temp around -18°c), in Whitehorse, Yukon sees people from around the world enter the water of the hot springs, which are somewhere between a relaxing 36° and 42° Celsius. They are then able to fashion their hair into rigid shapes as the water freezes it solid. The contest has received approximately 288 entries, and these are some of the most eye-catching from this year. To enter the contest involves visiting Takhini Hot Pools on a day when the temperature is below -20°C and pay for a regular admission to the hot springs. Once a frozen hairstyle has been perfected, participants can ring the wireless doorbell to have their photo taken by Takhini Hot Pools staff. With a total of $10,000 available in prize money, the Hair Freezing Contest has seen an incredible surge in participation this winter season. All winners to be announced on April 1st.
