The contest is free and open to all ages. Entrants can chose to construct either a castle or sculpture, competing in youth, family or adult categories.
Registration is from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the bathhouse, which is reached via the park entrance at the intersection of Otis Drive and Eighth Street/ Westline Drive.
For your castle or sculpture, you have to use only items found at the beach. You can’t bring in your own embellishments. That said, the variety and creativity of the entries is always amazing. It’s as much fun to watch as to participate.
Construction ends at noon and judging begins. Winners receive trophies and ribbons during an awards ceremony at 1 p.m. This isn’t a high-stakes contest; bragging rights are the real reward.
Contest sponsors are the Alameda Recreation & Parks Department, East Bay Regional Park District, Alameda Youth Committee, and the Bay View Women’s Club. For more information, call the City of Alameda at 510-747-7529, or the Park District’s Doug Siden Visitor Center at Crab Cove at 510544-3187.
