Now in its 3nd year, SANDING OVATIONS is Treasure Island's Annual Master Cup Professional Sand Sculpting Competition and Music Festival, a four day competition of ten sand sculpting masters from throughout North America and Europe, who create astonishing works of art using nothing but sand, water and lots of their own imagination.
Sanding Ovations is a free event held on the weekend before Thanksgiving at the Sand Sculpture Capital of Florida, Treasure Island.
