The Sons of the Beach South Padre Island say UNLITTER THE WORLD!

Update 10/30/11 - And the 2011 Trash Art winners are: Don York (Adult Category) and Nathan Conrad (Kids

Category) - Thanks to all who entereed!

The 24th annual SandCastle Days October 19-23 on South Padre Island is happy to welcome back The Unlitter Campaign's annual Trash Art Contest. Picking up trash not only improves your neighborhood, but also provides the unlitterer with FREE sculpture materials. Open to all, your trash sculpture must be free-standing and made from trash you saved from our beaches, roadsides and garbage dumps and you could win a cash prize!

The trash sculptures will be displayed at the Trash Art "Gallery"on the beach at SandCastle Days and judged by a People's Choice voting in three categories - Kids 12 and under, Kids 13-17, and adults.

Attach a recycled gallon jug with your name and phone number to your sculpture to collect your votes starting Friday morning through Saturday afternoon. Winners will be announced at the Trashion Style Show - "An Enchanted Evening" during the Saturday Night Lights event at Clayton's Beach Resort at 6:30pm on Oct. 22.

Kids category winners will receive $50 each and $100 to the adult category winner. Cash prizes sponsored by Gaudi Realty. Participants can chose to have their sculptures auctioned off Sunday afternoon to benefit the South Padre Island Unlitter Campaign.

Join the fun! Hope to see you on the beach!

UNLITTER (v): To properly dispose of more garbage than you generate

(as defined by the Sons of the Beach)

It's easy to become an SoB!

no religious visions will appear

no salesman will call

Just raise your right hand and repeat the SoB Pledge:

I promise to Have Fun --

Help Others Have Fun --

and U N L I T T E R* !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

(But remember - you PROMISED!)

We are SoBs and we like to have fun, help others have fun, and unlitter. One of our favorite ways to have fun is building sand castles. And we have the perfect beach for it right here on South Padre Island, TX.
We build other things too, like web-sites. We build them for people who pay us, but also for our friends. We have a lot of friends. They don't all have web-sites yet, but we are working on it.

You will find a lot of odd things if you poke around in the nooks and crannies of this site. We will try not to bore you. Don't feel bad if you can't see it all in one sitting. Just be sure and come back.

And don't forget to UNLITTER!
