CREATIVE youngsters will be competing to make the best sandcastle in the North-East.
Children from 45 primary schools, stretching from Hartlepool to north Northumberland, will converge on Sandhaven beach, South Shields, on July 9, for the annual Sandcastle Challenge.
The event, supported by the Royal Institute of British Architects, is expected to raise up to £20,000 for the Children North-East charity.
The objective of the challenge is to find the most creative sand-sculpting team on the theme of a new landmark for the North-East.
The top five schools in the event will each receive a prize of £200.
