The Igloo Challenge (season 3)
The third season of The Igloo Challenge premiered on July 13, 2013. This season is hosted by Blackmist100. Jangi and Victoria returned to the Judge Panel, with famous igloo designer Mcduck filling in the third Judge's seat.
On August 25, 2013, Sammy208 was announced the winner of the third season of The Igloo Challenge, making Alex1941 the runner-up.
Show changes
The third season saw many major changes made to the format of the show. Instead of Blackmist100 versing another contestant, a group of several contestants would compete against each other. Auditions would be held at the start to search for a group of contestants to compete.
With a group of contestants competing, eliminations were incorporated into the Rounds. The worst-performing or least-deserving contestant of each Round would be axed off the show. Eliminations would continue until there are two contestants remaining. These two remaining contestants would go on to compete in the Finale.
Since he is no longer competing, Blackmist100 became the Host with the Judge Panel consisting of Jangi, Victoria, and famous igloo designer Mcduck.
Additionally, most Rounds (mainly the earlier Rounds, when there are more contestants competing) are now aired in two parts.
The first part features an explanation of the task, as well as the action and drama that takes place in the making of the igloos. The second part of the round would feature the Judges' Evaluation and the Results.
This season's winner would be determined by the fans, rather than the Judges as in other seasons. Viewers also voted for award categories, such as Best Igloo of the Season, Worst Igloo, and Favorite Judge.
Auditions
Auditions were held in the Hotel. The purpose of auditions was to search for a group of contestants to compete in the actual competition. Blackmist100 recruited over 20 penguins this season, 14 of which came back to audition.
Once auditions were over, the Judges narrowed the 14 acts down to a Top 6. The Auditions were aired as a 2-part season premiere.
