You can enter as an individual or as a team. Prizes will be awarded in all five categories.
Tools permitted to build your masterpieces are buckets, shovels, sand scoops, carving tools, putty knives, spray bottles for water, and kitchen utensils. Materials are limited to only natural materials found on/near the beach. Decorations such as shells, reeds, and small rocks may be used.
Judging will be based on originality, composition, and technique. Last year, 30 sculptures were created by more than 100 sand sculpture aficionados.
