World Master Sand Sculptors

This invitation-only competition will feature 12 Master Class Sculptors, six from the United States and six from exotic countries around the world, to compete and carve museum-worthy sand sculptures made from only sand and water.

These hand-made sculptures can reach up to 15 ft. tall and can weigh over 10,000 lbs. It’s been called the most creative atmosphere in the world and you’ll never see works of art like this anywhere else!

Where will this year’s winner be from: the U.S., Canada, Europe, or Australia?

We’ll see…and we’ll see you there!
