That
was Sandsation in 2004
Sandsation 2004 broke all records: 110,000 visitors
from all over the world marvelled at the sculpture
park that fully represented the theme of the “Four
Elements”. A total of 34 of the world’s best sand
carving artists participated in the preparation of
the sculptures. The world champions of the last three
years Nigel Zabiela (Great Britain), Pavel Zadanouk
(Russia) and Rusty Croft (USA) joined them for the
first time ever in the world!

However, it was someone else who won the German Sand
Sculpture Award: the jury’s favourite was the
sand carving of Anique Kuizenga from The Netherlands,
who thereby clinched the friendly competition of the
best 10 carvers for herself. Nevertheless, the public
remained faithful to the Indian Sudarsan Pattnaik:
the artist from the Indian Ocean won the Berlin public
prize for the second time since 2003 and was pleased
as Punch.
The twelve metre-high central sculpture that was worked
on by over twenty artists under the direction of Martin
Tulinius formed the heart of the Sandsation. Many
visitors lost their sense of the sands of time while
viewing this piece....
