Jenny Rossen has won 1st Place People's Choice at the 2002 European World Championship Sandsculpting Competition in Cervia, Italy!

Jenny the sandcastle girl is thrilled by
the latest win.

..........

  "Our winning sculpture was a traditional sandcastle inspired by the fabulous style of the Middle East, " said Jenny.

The sculpture featured a castle and a camel being led by a Dubai woman wearing the traditional abaya. The sculpture was called 'Caravan'. The sculpture carries a message of peace from the Middle East.

"We are proud to be the People's Choice", said team members Jenny Rossen and Patrick Franklyn. "People are moved and delighted by the message of the sculpture."
   
       
......... Jenny Rossen has just won a world Championship with her Dubai-inspired sand sculpture.

Expatriates come to Dubai for money, for an easier life, maybe even a career. Jenny Rossen has come here for the sand. The very strong sand that can pack up and go hard. The golden sand that can stand up and be shaped into castles and flowers and people and animals......
