Strange competitions?!!

I heard today about the All Japan Hole Digging Competition. Contestants may gain awards/prizes for the depth or creativity of their holes, or for the costumes they wear while digging. The main prize is a "Golden Shovel". Proof at the link below :

Can anyone come up with any more unusual competitions like that!?

There´s the worm digging competition in England, why anyone would want to dig worms up is beyond me.

True, Vena, very true! I think I´ve heard of bog-snorkelling, which is peculiar to the UK, and I think there´s a World Championship!!! Can´t imagine anything I´d like to do less that swim around in cold, probably muddy water!
