The Pro-Am Division - Some of our Amateurs got so good we had to create this separate category for them!  Anyone who has sand sculpting experience and has entered and won contests in the past will want to enter the Pro-Am.  So, if you aren't a master yet but you aren't really a total amateur, this is the event for you.  It has more time and bigger plots than the regular Amateur contest.

Your entry fee helps SandFest raise money for local charities.
