Register for Kids Sandcastle Competition

As part of the Sun & Sea Festival to be held June 30 the Optimist Club of Imperial Beach will host its annual Kids N' Kastles Sandcastle Competition later this month.

Kids 12 and under from across South Bay and San Diego have taken part in the competition for more than 25 years, said president Rico Toscano.

Up to 20 five-person teams will compete using food coloring, seaweed, sea shells and other items naturally found on the beach as decorations.

An adult supervisor is required for each team but adults are not allowed to assist in the creation of the sandcastle or sand sculpture.

Along with bragging rights, members of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place teams will win trophies and prizes, including some from sponsors North Island Credit UnionFilippi's Pizza Grotto and K-Pasta.

Teams must arrive by 11 a.m.
