UPDATE: Cherating Sandcastle Competition Theme

• Share

According to Wikipedia, Sand art is the practice of modelling sand into an artistic form, such as a sand brushing, sand sculpture, sandpainting, or sand bottles. A sandcastle is a type of sandsculpture resembling a miniature building, often a castle.

The two basic building ingredients, sand and water, are available in abundance on a sandy beach, so most sand play takes place there, or in a sandpit. Tidal beaches generally have sand that limits height and structure because of the shape of the sand grains. Good sand sculpture sand is somewhat dirty, having silt and clay that helps lock the irregular shaped sand grains together.

Sand castles are typically made by children, simply for the fun of it, but there are also sand sculpture contests for adults that involve large, complex constructions.

So this year, Cherating Holiday Villa is launching their 21st Sandcastle Sculpting Competition and below are the competition details. Do make sure you register as soon as possible because contest entry will only be acceptable until the 22nd April 2011. The sandcastle competition itself will be held on the 8th of May 2011 at the Beaches of Cherating.
