NISDA EVENTS

SCULPTURE AND SANDCASTLE DAY JULY 30th 2022
AT JETTIES BEACH NANTUCKET

Hundreds of spectators and 52 contestants came out to participate in this classic summer event: the 47th Annual SandCastle and Sculpture Contest hosted by the Nantucket Island School of Design and the Arts. The event on Saturday, July 30 at Jetties Beach celebrated its 47th year! It is always a delightful family oriented event and the weather co-operated with sunny skies and a lovely breeze.

The contest was amptly judged by two local creatives: Kevin Stanton and Donnick Cary. To follow are the results of the judging; which the judges said was so difficult because of all of the skill and effort that went into this year’s entries.

…and the winners are….
