Whether you are already staying on the Cooloola Coast or fancy a day trip to the beach, the annual Sandcastle Competition is really good reason to head to Rainbow Beach this school holidays.
The event attracts sandcastle lovers as well as families looking for a fun activity over the holidays, and everyone has a great time.
The fun is organised by The Rainbow Beach Learning Community, a group of homeschooling families from Gympie and the Cooloola Coast who are proud to bring you the third Rainbow Beach Sandcastle Competition.
This year the competition will be held from 8.30am on Wednesday 5 April on the main beach at Rainbow Beach.
The competition has become a must attend event for families and tourists who are visiting the area over the Easter Holidays and many
come just for the day to win some of the fantastic prizes and make memories.
Last year’s event was an outstanding success with twenty-five teams creating sand creations that made for a wonderful morning for those involved in the competition as well as those who were simply taking a walk along the beach.
Arron from Sandshapers of Noosa will again be creating one of his remarkable sand sculptures from 8am which will be an added attraction alongside the competition.
Arron will also be judging the various categories which will be; the most outstanding sandcastle or sand building; the most lifelike animal or fish and an open division where the teams can create anything they want.
There will also be a People’s Choice Award where onlookers can vote for their favourite sand creation.
The winning teams will receive a hamper of prizes from local businesses and Sam and Maureen Mitchell from the Rainbow Beach Tourist Information Centre are generously donating a ball to every child who is part of the competition.
The entry fee is $20 per team with registration from 8.30am and the competition commencing at 9am.
Judging of the sandcastles will be at 11am with the presentation of prizes at 11.30am.
A sausage sizzle and cold drinks will be for sale from 10am.
