"San Franciscans who know how to draw a line in the sand are well aware that the Saturday before Halloween is that annual sandcastle-building contest for schoolkids, this year technically known as the 43rd Annual Leap Sandcastle Classic. That event happened this weekend, and this year's theme was the video game theme called Level Up. And as seen below, there were several iterations of Pac-Man, a little Minecraft here and there, and a pretty impressive dragon."
"But your winner can be seen below, lovingly hand-crafted by the students of Daniel Webster Elementary School, though they competed under the name Team CTRL + Crab. And their Best in Show-winning work depicted two crabs crawling up to some Nintendo-style video game controllers. Image: Leap Arts in Education via Facebook"
"Nearly 20 groups of third- to fifth-grade students from Bay Area schools competed (though each team had some help from local architecture, engineering and construction firms). The teams got two-and-a-half hours to build their sandcastles , and as always, the event is a benefit for the nonprofit Leap Arts in Education. It all starts beginning at 11 am at the sound of the horn, and continues until 2:30, Leap manager of community engagement Jacqueline Haudek Marquez told NBC Bay Area before Saturday's contest."
Daniel Webster Elementary School students competing as Team CTRL + Crab won Best in Show at the 43rd Annual Leap Sandcastle Classic at Ocean Beach with a sculpture of two crabs approaching Nintendo-style controllers. The event used a Level Up video-game theme and included entries referencing Pac-Man, Minecraft and a dragon. Nearly 20 teams of third- to fifth-grade students competed with support from local architecture, engineering and construction firms. Teams had two-and-a-half hours to build, starting at 11 am and ending at 2:30 pm. The contest benefits the nonprofit Leap Arts in Education and concludes with judges awarding prizes.
