The U.S. Sand Sculpting Challenge Returns To San Diego!

The U.S. Sand Sculpting Challenge and Dimensional Art Exposition – named one of the top 20 “Must See” seaside festivals in the world according to American Express and USA Today – will return to San Diego’s downtown waterfront on Labor Day weekend!

At stake: more than $60,000 in prize money and national pride!

Presented by The Port of San Diego, this will be the seventh year one of the world’s most prominent sand-sculpting competitions will be held on this built-for-the-occasion beach, with over 300 tons of sand dumped on Broadway Pier.

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!
