維吉尼亞沙灘上的海神 (Neptune) 慶典
地方性遺產

您做過沙堡或沙雕嗎?

在北美沙雕競賽 (North American Sand Sculpting Championship) 中,沙雕屬於一門藝術。在維吉尼亞沙灘上所舉辦的海神節活動,是以Neptune命名,Neptune是羅馬神話中的海神;其活動包括沙雕競賽。您可以前往這個一連十天的慶典觀看手工藝、海神大遊行 (King Neptune's Grand Parade) 及參加各種運動競賽及沙灘競賽。

職業級選手及業餘選手都前來參加海神節的沙雕競賽以一決高下。比賽一開始,他們先用水將沙子浸濕,再用水桶、鏟子、噴水瓶、手推車、梯子及園藝工具來進行沙雕,甚至蛋糕刀、抹刀、湯匙或挖球器都派上用場,而自然的海邊生物則被拿來當做裝飾物,如:貝殼及海草。沙雕作品完成後,您應該趕快拍照留念,因為在您察覺前,海浪就會把它沖走了。



Have you ever made a sand castle? What about a sand sculpture?

At the North American Sand Sculpting Championship, sand sculpturing is an art form. The Virginia Beach Neptune Festival, which includes the Sand Sculpting Championship, was named after Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. You can go to this 10-day festival and participate in sporting competitions, arts and crafts, King Neptune's Grand Parade, and, of course, the sand competition.

Both professionals and amateurs come to the Neptune Festival to compete in the sand sculpting competition. They start by using water to hold the sand together. Buckets, shovels, sprayers, wheelbarrows, ladders, and garden tools help make the sand sculptures. Cake cutters, pallet knives, spoons, and even melon-ballers are also used. Natural seashore items such as shells and seaweed are used for decorations. When the sculpture is finished you should take a photo of your masterpiece because, before you know it, it will all be washed away.
