First All-Ireland Sand Sculpting Competition

By Adam Farley, Deputy Editor
August / September 2016

August 10, 2016 by 1 Comment

The first ever All-Ireland sand sculpting competition will take place in August at the 30th annual Duncannon Sand Sculpting Festival on Duncannon Beach, Co. Wexford. Featuring both professional and amateur sand sculptors, fireworks, beach games, and live music, the competition will also try to break its own record for the number of sand angels created in a day, which they set last year at 405.
Commenting on the upcoming festival, Cathy Dowling, one of the festival’s organizers, said, “This festival is always fun filled, our emphasis is firmly on family fun and we ensure a program filled with wonderful activities for the locals and visitors to the village to enjoy with all of the events.” ♦

    Greetings!
    We decided to hold an international Sandcastle Competitions in the Technical College of Imam Ali College with your support.
    Yazd in Iran as the first mud brick city of the world and the second historic city has a great potential for tourist attraction due to its specific old architecture. We can provide the occupancy of the participants in the best hotels accompanied by a tour of historical places around Yazd. (Iran was hosting the 2017 international tour guides convention) we can also provide wonderful venues for holding the competition in historical areas. In brief, we will do our best to provide facilities for holding this big competition, moreover, we will try our best to make this event an unforgettable one for the participants.
    Regarding the above mentioned points, we request you to accept our suggestion for Hosting international Paper bridge competition in 2018 with the presence of different teams from all over the world.
    We really need your support.
