Guidelines
Create the winning design using your favorite flowers and incorporating the "Burst of Blooms" theme. To be considered, you must:
- Create a single floral design to illustrate what the "Burst of Blooms" theme means to you.
- Use any combination of fresh, dried or permanent (silk) botanicals.
- Limit the cost of your design to $75 or less, including the container and materials.
- Ensure the background you select for your photo enhances your design and does not detract from your creativity. No watermark, name or other identifying marks may appear in your photo.
- Submit a photo and description of your design by May 1 using the official online entry form. The suggested donation may also be submitted with your entry.
Membership in TSFA is not required for participation. The contest is open to all high school floral design teachers. There is a limit of one entry per competitor.
