However, there is YukiGassen http://www.tofugu.com/2012/01/19/yukigassen-japanese-snowball-fighting-sport/ :)

The competition teams all have a standard sized block of snow to sculpt everything out of. I don’t know the exact measurements, but they’re not ridiculously large – maybe a 10′x10′x10′ cube? The “normal” snow sculptures have to fit in a 2m x 2m x 2m cube.
