Dan Belcher from St. Louis created a sculpture called “Signature.” The piece featured an old-fashioned feather pen with the word Signature written in cursive.
For the seventh year, Sanding Ovations has brought world-class sand sculptors to Treasure Island’s Master Cup Sand Sculpting Competition. From Nov. 18 to 22, ten artists created sculptures using just sand and water.
The sculptures will remain on the beach until January and are illuminated at night to accentuate and showcase each piece. Susanne Ruseler from Utrecht, Netherlands, won first place with her sculpture “Pan and Syrinx.” The mythical creature stood tall atop crashing waves, winning the Sculptor’s Choice award as well.

Sue McGrew from Tacoma, Wash. won second place with her piece “What’s Inside The Mind.” A giant face was sculpted in the sand, hollowed with lines twisting to make a head.
