International
Sand Sculpture Festival 2012
in Søndervig

THEME: The Seven Wonders of the World

For the tenth year in a row, Søndervig will host northern Europe’s biggest and most spectacular sand sculpture festival as our part of the world has never before seen it.

In the course of a mere ten days, 36 of the world’s best artists will transform 8,000 tons of sand into impressive works of art which, in their own special way, tell the story of the Seven Wonders of the World.

This year’s anniversary festival will feature the biggest ever number of artists, and these globally active artists are already in full swing with preparations for the summer festival, which will feature the biggest continuous sculpture wall the world has ever seen – 200 metres long and, at its peak, up to about 7.5 metres high.

Apart from the gigantic sculpture wall, many individual sculptors will decorate the festival site.

For the tenth year in a row, we will attempt to surpass ourselves. This year we have decided to test the limits of creativity. In this anniversary year, the 36 international artists will really show the world the possibilities provided by nature’s own materials.

Last year our sand sculpture festival was visited by almost 140,000 guests, all of whom had a fantastic experience. Many of them visited us several times throughout the summer. Never before had so many pictures been taken and so many minutes of videos been recorded.

Once again, the inspiration has come from the world of antiquity, and this year’s choice will give the artists  an opportunity to break through the limits and let creativity flourish to its maximum, and really give the tenth sand sculpture festival the final push up into the world’s most pre-eminent festivals for sand sculptors.
