Don't Miss The Hampton Beach Sand Sculpting Competition

The 10th Annual Master Sand Sculpting Competition at Hampton Beach has begun and is already drawing crowds to the area. The fun began June 18th when ten tons of sand per sculptor was delivered. June 19 - June 23 a massive sponsor site is created, where each sponsor's name appears on a piece of sand art.

June 24, 25, & 26 is the master solo competition.

Each of the fourteen world class master sculptors will use sand, water, and their own creativity to build amazing works of art within their 18' x 18' plot.

No molds of any kind may be used.

A solution of glue and water is sprayed on the completed entries to protect them from wind and rain, and help them remain in tact for the length of the competition.

The awards ceremony is Saturday, June 26 at 8 pm, on the Sea Shell Stage. Fireworks will follow at 9:30.

The "exhibit on the beach" will remain until June 30. It is lighted for night viewing. You can view the live beach camera anytime to follow their progress.
