HAMPTON BEACH, N.H. – An Ohio man has successfully defended his title by winning a prominent sand sculpting competition in New Hampshire with his sculpture depicting a man’s face with multiple other faces in his hand.

Carl Jara of Lyndhurst, Ohio, was declared the winner of the 13th annual Hampton Beach Sand Sculpting Competition on Saturday night for his work entitled “Infinity.”

For the competition, the 13 participants were each given 10 tons of sand to work with and began sculpting their works on Thursday. Voting took place Saturday.

The sculptures will remain on display through July 7th and will be lit for night viewing.

With the win, Jara qualifies for the World Championships of sand sculpting in Atlantic City this summer.
