2008 Ft. Myers Beach Sandsculpting Championships

They have a sandcastle building contest in Galveston and South Padre Island too. These are tons of fun to watch and also fun to do if you are up for the work. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Hey, Sean. Those are awesome pictures and I cant wait to see the ones from this year. All my best, Jim

This is amazing.  I'm yet to witness something like that in person.  You would think I've seen it before, living in California and all.  I look forward to seeing more pictures.

Absolutely incredible!  I'd love to see something like that in person.

Sean, I'm looking forward to seeing some of the finished products from this year.  Thanks for sharing.

Those are amazing!  I can't wait to see the 2008 pictures either!  I am going to have to go see this some time!

Sean, OMG, these are really cool... Gotta tell the boss about these...

Sean - looking forward to the pictures from this years event. Watching these events is really cool.

We had our sandbuilding contest back in August, I think it was, at Imperial Beach. I haven't been in many years because it brings in about 100,000 people, a number which the area really is not equipped to handle. One has to get there a day early in order to get to the beach. They claim to be the largest sandbuilding contest in the world, with entries from many foreign countries, and each year when I look at the number of entries and the cash prizes, it wouldn't suprise me. Just looking at the pictures in the paper and on the Internet is fun. I was never able to building anything taller than about one foot. Of course, that might be because my older brother or the ocean waves were always destroying my lovely creationgs -- LOL

Sean & Pillar,

Thanks for the post. Clearly this was the place to be. Did you mention the AR party on the beach:)
