HE was just one of three Australians pitting his sand sculpting skills against some of the world's best international competitors.
And, in a fairytale victory, Blue Mountains resident Jino van Bruinessen took out the top prize at the second Hawkesbury International Sand Sculpting Championships this year.
Three Australians and 11 sand sculptors from all over the world, including the US and Latvia, spent three days creating their masterpieces on the banks of the Hawkesbury River, based on a fairytales and fables theme.
The competitors included reigning champion Jakub Zimacek from the Czech Republic. But three judges voted in favour of Mr van Bruinessen's sculpture about Aesop's fable The Two Pots.
Event organiser and director of Sandstorm Events, Sharon Redmond, said having an Australian winner this year was exciting.
"An Australian sculptor being able to compete so strongly in such an amazingly strong international field is exciting," she said.
"It shows Australian sculptors are becoming very competitive."
