Act One Pictures sponsored The Coastal Carvers at the 30th Annual U.S. Open Sandcastle Competition held this past August 8, 2010. The Coastal Carvers, won a 3rd place in the highly competitive "Best Sculpture" division. Robert, the production manager here at Act One and the team captain, along with the 10 man team, built a 20 foot long champagne bottle, resting on a bunch of grape vines that surrounded a 5 foot tall champagne glass and was topped with a strawberry. Also created was the cork and a chunck of cheese and a chocolate covered strawberrry placed on a cutting board.

Teams are allowed to build for 5 hours and can only use sea water and sand.

This was The Coastal Carvers 25th year creating sandsculptures. The team has captured 1st place 3 times in the past, and are working hard to win another...soon!

Some photos of the sand sculpture are on our Demos page.
