The Resistencia Biennial International Sculptures Contest is an international event in Resistencia, Argentina held since 1988.
Sponsored by UNESCO,[1] it gathers sculptors from around the world, who in the lapse of a week must sculpt their pieces in open air and in front of visitors.
The sculptures are destined for being sited in the city as cultural heritage.
[2] The event is complemented with art seminars, concerts, and other cultural activities.
[1] In November 1989, after the first contest was held, local artist Fabriciano Gómez established the Fundación Urunday, an organization that would organize the contests from then on.
