Dupont Circle was crowded this afternoon with an old man, a geisha girl and a hipster – all made out of snow.

The sculptures were part of a contest, hosted by D.C.’s Snowball Fight Association, who announced the competition last night after they were forced to call off a fight due to icy and potentially dangerous conditions.

Crowd favorites included an “old man walking his dog,” a snowgirl geisha complete with her own kimono and changing screen, and “Dalton the Hipster,” posed arms-crossed against a tree, wearing a blue dress shirt and bowler’s hat.

Michael Lipin and Denis Baranov, who founded the group in 2010 during “Snowmaggedon,” called upon local businesses to offer prizes and staff the judging panel.

Elis Moss, Julia Ivanov and Aleksi Kourula were awarded the first prize of the afternoon, vodka and appetizers from Kramerbooks, for their snowman called “Faceplant: Extended Snow Day Happy Hour.”

The snowman looked as though he’d had a rough night, he lay facedown on the ground with his legs sprawled in the air and his cell phone and keys strewn about.

Moss accessorized the snowman with her hat and scarf, and Kourula provided the cellphone.

Jeff Bollen and David Coffin of Petworth created “Dalton the Hipster” in honor of their own hipster friend.

They were awarded an $100 gift card to Cafe Dupont for their sculptures.

Dalton flipped between hipster and beatnik as he was built, Bollen said, but “D.C. needs more hipsters.”

Additional prize winners included “Snowbama” and “Oreoman.” Both teams were awarded $50 vouchers to Bar DuPont.

Though all mayoral candidates were invited to participate, only Muriel Bowser arrived to join the judging panel.

Moriah Brockway, of Northwest D.C., arrived at the competition with plans to create “a dog peeing on a tree.”

When she “just couldn’t make it happen,” Brockway chose to pay tribute to her family’s two dogs, both of whom passed last year.

The final result was an impressive figure, sporting a green duct tape collar and facial features made out of granola bar pieces.

Brockway’s dog “Disk” was a favorite among kids who stopped by with their parents.

“The worst part was the body, pushing it, rolling up all the snow because it was so heavy but the rest of it really wasn’t that bad. I used this roll of duct tape to carve out snow,” Brockway said.
