It's that time of year again, sculpture time. A new series of sculptures have been chosen for the Seventh Annual Florida Outdoor Sculpture Competition. The sculptures will be installed in Lakeland and Winter Haven during the weeks of March 5th – 16th and will remain on display till February 2008. Listed below are the selected sculptures by city.
