6th Annual
Charity Outdoor Sand Sculpture Exhibition
WRITE
Summer 2025
For the sixth time, giant sand sculptures will rise at Pustevny as part of the annual outdoor charity exhibition – this year with a new theme: Africa. Once again, we’ll journey into the world—into our Sand World—and take visitors to the hot African continent.
You can look forward to impressive sculptures of African animals that are among the endangered species listed on the IUCN Red List (International Union for Conservation of Nature). This list assesses the threat levels to various species and highlights animals at risk of extinction.
In this year’s Sand World, you’ll encounter majestic lions, pangolins, chimpanzees, and African pygmy hippos—and learn why these creatures are endangered.
This year, 90 tons of environmentally friendly sand from the Vítošov lime quarry will again be used to create the sculptures, transported to Pustevny by three giant trucks from Sytrans. The largest sculptures will reach up to three meters in height.
Four sculptors from our region will work on creating the sculptures, assisted by six helpers, heavy machinery from HR Systém, and special formwork. Once completed, all sculptures will be protected with a special Den Braven spray coating.
