2008 Sand Sculpture Contest: Adult/Family Group 1st Place Award Winner: Entry #40: Ganesh, by Peter Bridgman

Point Reyes National Seashore invites you to join the 28th annual Sand Sculpture Contest. We welcome all ages at this free community event located at Drakes Beach. Categories include: Children (14 and under), Families, Adult Individuals, and Adult Groups. Three prizes will be awarded in each of those categories along with prizes for the sculpture with the most recycled plastic included. This event is family-based, but please remember no dogs are allowed on this designated swimming beach (no lifeguard on duty). Local celebrity judges include Wendy Friefeld and naval architect Gary Thompson who will make the call on creativity and originality. This year, students from the Latino Photography Project of Gallery Route One in Point Reyes Station will be capturing the sculptures on film for the park website. Bring a picnic and spend the day!
