This past Sunday, the sandy beaches of the Rockaways played perfect host to the second annual Creative Time artist sandcastle competition. Ten unique teams made up of area artists, dug and patted and wetted down the boundless supply of sandy material. A raucous day was had. The esteemed winners were chosen by a specially selected group of judges. Here are the results.
1st PRIZE – A ‘gold’ shovel, a bucket with a bottle of tequila, and a $500 check, went to Jamie Isenstein for “Disappearing Sculptures.”
2nd PRIZE – A ‘silver’ shovel and bucket of booze, went to Esperanza Mayobre for “Raft de la Esperanza.”
3rd PRIZE – A ‘bronze’ shovel and booze, went to Duke Riley for “White Castle.”
