Sculptors of sand are in high demand, according to photos we found of this year’s international competitions and exhibits. Boston’s Revere Beach hosted its National Sand Sculpting Festival, and you’ll find impressively huge sculptures in Copenhagen’s downtown, Denmark, until the end of next month.

See more photos in the Sand Sculptures gallery and a search for sand sculpting.
