"The Charge of the Achilles" took the doubles division 1st place award. Its sculptors were Brian Turnbough of Illinois and Joo Heng Tan of Singapore.
Judges awarded 5th place to Justin Gordon of Groveland, Massachusetts, for "Legislated Liberty," depicting a bald eagle chained to a gavel.
The festival, located in Søndervig, Denmark, recently featured "The Skull -- Greed Does Not Feed," by Jan Selen of the Netherlands.
