Sand Sculpture Contest
Løkken hosts the traditional sand competition, which has been held in Løkken since 1932. Take your friends, grandmother, or siblings by the hand and come to the weekly competition, which takes place every Wednesday during the danish summer holidays. All children under 15 can participate.

Let Your Imagination Run Wild! Build your own character or sculpture in the sand.
You are welcome to use any natural materials you can find on the beach, including:
- Stones
- Seashells
- Seaweed
- And much more
You decide when you would like to start. Construction can take place throughout the day until judging begins at around 4:00 PM.
The competition takes place on the beach between Ndr. Strandvej and Sdr. Strandvej in Løkken. The judges will visit each sculpture and evaluate the creative sand artworks.
Prizes for All Participants
All children who take part in the competition will receive an ice cream voucher from:
- North Shore Surf
- SuperBrugsen Løkken
- Brogaarden Is Løkken
In addition, the 1st prize winner will receive a Løkken.dk T-shirt, which can be collected from the Løkken Tourist Office.
The 2nd and 3rd prize winners will each receive a bag of sweets from BOLCHERIET.
Special Guest Judge on 22 July
The sand sculpture competition on 22 July will feature a very special guest judge.
Signe Simonsen, World Champion Ice Swimmer and advocate for cleaner oceans and beaches through Race for Oceans Technology, will visit Løkken Beach to help judge the day’s creative sand sculptures.
Signe has also chosen the theme for the day:
- My Favourite Sea Animal
Let your imagination run wild and create your favourite sea creature in the sand. Maybe you are fascinated by sharks, love octopuses, admire sea turtles, or dream of mermaids. All ideas are welcome as the beach transforms into a creative underwater world filled with exciting figures.
As Signe herself says:
“If I could be a sea creature for a day, I would be a mermaid.”
We look forward to a day full of imagination, sea creatures, and summer fun on Løkken Beach. Who knows—perhaps your sand sculpture will be one of Signe’s favourites when the judges make their rounds at around 4:00 PM.
No Bucket and Spade?
No problem!
At North Shore Surf, you can borrow a beach play set made from Dantoy bioplastic for a DKK 100 deposit or upon presentation of a valid photo ID.
