2009 SMRFA ROSE FLOAT - "CALL FOR DESIGNS"
By Don Mills
Yes, that’s right, we
are looking for concepts/designs submissions for the 2009 Tournament of
Roses Parade.
Call us crazy but. . .
we realize that the short concept design time we have provided in past
years has limited designer participation and consequently, the number of
designs submitted. It has also prevented us on getting a jump on the 1st
Quarter float planning process.
So, here are the
details:
Now’s your
chance to design a Pasadena Tournament of Roses rose float! Between October
1st, 2007, and January 11th, 2008, the Sierra Madre
Rose Float Association is accepting designs for our entry in the January 1,
2009 parade.
The
official announcement of the Tournament of Roses Parade theme will occur
after our call for designs closing date, but this year’s pre-announcement
hints are “entertainment” and “excitement” (such as Salute to Entertainment
or Hat’s Off to Entertainment). We very confident the 2009 Parade will
feature floats with “entertainment” themes.
Entry is
open to all ages and you do not need to be an Association member nor a
Sierra Madre resident. Designs developed by groups, including art classes
and organizations, are gladly received. Designers are also encouraged to
submit more than one design.
We
encourage everyone to spread the word to their friends, relatives and
co-workers. If possible, consider talking about this contest with local art
groups, classes or schools, art class could submit a group design. Remember,
designers are encouraged to submit multiple designs. |
