The events I've heard about are listed below. If you want to be ready for 'em, may I suggest checking the Can You Dig It Products Page. Maybe you know a young beach goer that needs a special gift or a family looking to expand their time 'working' together or maybe a youngster stuck in an adult body looking to conquer at next year's amateur sand sculpting contest! Try our new Super Deluxe Sand Sculpting Kit. It comes in a beautiful box for wrapping for your favorite beach going family!
Below is a list of the amateur and masters sand sculpting contests we know about. If you know of any events and don't see them listed, e-mail us the details so that we can post them to the site!
Master sand sculpting contests remain few and too often far apart. Each one presents a special opportunity to see some of the best there are in this unique art.
Thanks!
Sandman Matt
