Watch What These World Masters Do With 300 Tons Of Sand
We just love a good sand castle competition. Something about it throws us back to our childhood days of simple pleasures… mixed with the hope and ambition that one day our homes will look just like our sandy creation 🙂

How about watching world masters in said sand arts compete in a head-to-head weekend-long competition!?
Dig it? Then come to the Broadway Pier on Friday, September 1st through Monday, September 4th, to get 4 days worth of a massive sand party under the sun!
The competition comes complete with a full-blown dimensional art exposition, entertainment for the whole family, live music, food trucks galore, VIP lounge with drinks… the goodness just doesn’t end!

Master sand sculptors from all over the U.S., Ireland, South Korea, Canada, Netherlands and Russia are coming out to challenge each other and earn their share of more than $60,000 in prizes and appearance money.
The newest competitors are from nearly opposite sides of the planet: Jihoon Choi from South Korea and Abram Waterman from Prince Edward Island, Canada.
To qualify for the event, Master Sculptors must have won awards at major international competitions within the past 5 years.

Friday and Saturday are great days to see them work and watch their incredible sculptures come to life. In addition to the World Masters, there’s a Team Competition with members from all over the state and elsewhere in the U.S. The three-person groups select a concept together and build their sculptures in a format that allows them to create elaborate multi-piece vignettes.
