Sand sculpture event held

Umina Beach was host to a sand sculpture competition on Sunday, February 5.

The free event attracted some 40 participants and many spectators to the beach on the south side of Umina Surf Club, according to organisers.

The competition was separated into categories for both adults and children.

Cash prizes were given away and activities such as beach cricket were also held.

The event was organised by radio station 2GO and was designed as a "fun and relaxing day with a family atmosphere".

Sarah Ferman from 2GO said that there was a "really good response" to the occasion.

The event has been held annually for more than five years.
