• Ours
is a family-oriented event; the organizers, sponsors and public feel
strongly that sculptures should not include anything that would commonly
be considered offensive.

working before the start time or after the stop time will be disqualified.
• All forms
must be removed and all compacted sand must be sculpted or otherwise
altered by hand once the forms are removed. Contest organizers reserve
the right to disqualify any sculptures that are obviously unfinished.
• Only
water and the sand from within the assigned plots may be used to create
the sculptures. Only naturally occurring, and biodegradable items found
on the beach that day such as seaweed and shells may be used for decoration.
No artificial color, paint, flour, sugar cement or adhesives may be
used.

of the judges are final.
