Lagazuoi Cairn Festival 2019:
the jury has made its decision!

That's it, the Lagazuoi Cairn Festival ended on Sunday 28th July 

During the two weeks of this contest, the path has been dotted with artistic cairns, built on and with rocks in a place of deceleration and contemplation.
These transitory artistic expressions, one different from the other, have enchanted not only the visitors of Mt. Lagazuoi but also the jury. 
And the outstanding jury has expressed his preference:   

First place goes to:

Federico Picchetti, cairn of the workstation N° 2, score 164 points

The is the smile of a winner: Federico Picchetti proudly shows his prize, the largest of the three cairns in precious stone pine, handmade in the Dolomites by Dolometto.

We also publish the pics of two cairns which do not meet the criteria set out in the regulations but are simply very nice to look at and evoke a smile.
