On 3 September 2011, RIBA, North Somerset Council| and Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal| brought the Sandcastle Competition 2011 to the beach at Weston-super-Mare. 16 teams took part - including many members of the public and a naval architect (see if you can spot the project).
The sand sculptures were judged by architect George Ferguson CBE, Grand Pier co. owner Michelle Michael and RSAW President Pierre Wassenaar, with the daytrippers and holiday-makers of Weston-super-Mare making their own choice in the People's Choice Award.
