The Revere Beach International Sand Sculpting Festival is an annual event held at Boston's Revere Beach. Master sand sculptors compete for over $15,000 in prize money in the annual festival that has attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors each year since 2004.

The sand sculptures are judged based on four categories: 1) degree of difficulty, 2) originality and creativity, 3) quality of sculpting, and 4) overall visual impact.
