TOP OF THE SOUTH NEIGHBOURHOOD SUPPORT
IS PROUD TO PRESENT THE

SUMMER OF SANDCASTLES

The 3rd annual Tahunanui
Sandcastle & Sculpture Competition

Come and play in the sand at Tahunanui Beach this summer and win!

 

We're going to spend our summer at the beach, forgetting all of the events that we've had to cancel this year, but remembering to stay as safe as we can.

​

We've changed the competition from one day into a summer festival, so that more people can participate safely within COVID guidelines.

​

Grab some friends, whānau or workmates and make a date between Boxing Day (26 Dec 2021) and Waitangi Day (6 Feb 2022) to create something in the sand. 

​

 

HOW TO ENTER: 

Step one: Complete your registration below. Entry is free for individuals, families, community groups and businesses, but we are happy to accept donations/koha if you're able to help. Proceeds will go towards our work supporting local neighbourhoods. 
Step two: Gather your team @ Tahunanui Beach sometime between Boxing Day (26 Dec 2021) and Waitangi Day (6 Feb 2022). Create your (family friendly) sand creation. You can add props/decorations but make sure that the only thing left behind when you leave the beach is footprints and sand. 
Step three: Once you finish your build, submit a high resolution photo of your sculpture, and one of the team at the beach. Better yet, hit the record button and create a 30 second video
