The Tsuen Wan sand sculpture contest will be held from 9am to 1pm October 14 at Lido Beach. Applications close September 21.

Organised by the Leisure & Cultural Services Department, the contest is divided into four divisions - open, youth, children and disabled.

Each team must have three to five members. In the disabled division, each team should have six to eight members with at least half of them being people with disabilities.

Teams can decide their own themes and will have two hours to create their sand sculptures. Adjudication will be based on skill, creativity and aesthetics. Prizes will be awarded to the winner, and the first and second runner-ups of each division. All teams will also vie for the overall championship and greatest creativity award.
