39th Annual Sandcastle Contest for All Ages

Delaware Seashore State Park invites the public to the 39^th Annual Sandcastle Contest. Amateurs and professional builders are welcome to participate. This contest is free to enter and great prizes will be awarded.  To enter, park visitors can stop by the Delaware State Parks tent which will be located at the South Inlet Day Area on the beach.  Registration starts at 9:00 a.m.
Participants have the option to enter into one of two categories; the “12 and under” class, or the all-ages “Open” class. Contestant’s castles will be judged using four categories: originality/creativity, structural complexity, aesthetic appeal, and the use of natural material.  There will be no restrictions on tool and materials.  Each team can have up to five people.  The judging will begin at 1pm and awards will be distributed thereafter.
