MyMemory.com World Beach Art Championship
Jersey’s beaches were the stage for the first ever worldwide beach art contest – the MyMemory.com Beach Art World Championships, in October of 2011.
To kick off the championships, Jersey Tourism signed up key beach artists from around the world to take part and create great sand masterpieces.
The event lasted two days and aimed to draw attention to one of Jersey’s key attributes – it's sunshine culture.
The weekend included a fun and interactive day on Saturday, with demonstrations and the chance to pick up a few skills. Sunday proved to be the main photogenic day, with International rake artists displaying their talents on beaches along the North West and South West Jersey coast.
Jersey residents were also encouraged to get involved and enjoy the event alongside world-renowned beach artists.
Artists involved
The artists who participated in the event were; Andres Amador from California, UK based Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss, Sam Dougados from France and Andy Coutanche from Jersey.
Judges
Jersey artists Glyn Burton, Ian Rolls and Nick Romeril kindly agreed to be the panel of judges.
