Why would anyone want to let their hair freeze into frosty stiffness? Maybe for a cash prize, or some internet points. You could win $2000 in the Takhini Hot Springs Hair Freezing Contest. Entries will be accepted until March 8.
To enter the contest, visit the Takhini Hot Springs any day during the winter when the temperature is below -20°C. We are located twenty minutes north of Whitehorse, Yukon. Upon arrival, purchase a regular admission to the hot springs and provide a signed photo release form to one of our staff members, letting them know that you would like to participate in the hair freezing contest. Once you have entered the hot springs and perfected your frozen hairdo, ring the wireless doorbell and wait for our staff to come take your photo. After your soak make sure to come back to the lobby to upload your photo to the contest site and share your image with your friends! For every person that enters the contest, our sponsor, Nongshim Noodles will donate 5 packs of instant noodles to the Whitehorse Food Bank!
Incidentally, -20 means four degrees below zero Fahrenheit. But since this is a hot springs, the rest of your body will be warm enough (we think). If you can't make it to the Yukon in time, you can go to the website, see those who have entered already, and vote for the People's Choice Award. Winners in other categories will be selected by the hot springs judges. If you do want to enter, the website has instructions, rules, and tips for making your hair freeze nicely. -via Everlasting Blort
