There is more than enough to do in the Westfjords this weekend. If you are not up to the European Championship in Swamp Soccer you can join a sand-castle competition in nearby Önundarfjörður bay.

Arnaldur Máni Finsson, one of the organizers of the competition, told Bæjarins bestu, a local Westfjords news service, that this year’s competition is on track to become one of the best in the nineteen year history of the competition. The competition is held in the sand beaches by Holt.

Great fun, natural beauty and numerous prices!
“The most ambitious participants show up at the beach well before the competition formally starts, to prepare their structures, but the formal start of the competition is at 14:00 and it is ended at 16:00 sharp. But people tend to linger at the beach well after the competition to enjoy the beauty of Holtsfjara beach”

Participants compete for several different prices. The three best structures receive prices, in addition to prices for the cleverest design and decoration, as well as a special theme-connected prize. All prices are donated by local businesses. You can find further information on the competition at its Facebook page.
