Design Inspiration Challenge: Round 2

Share

With the great success of the first one, FSN is PROUD to bring you the NEXT Design Inspiration Challenge! Florists everywhere are buzzing about this new Challenge, we hope to see designs from each and every one!

BUT FIRST….

NOW BACK TO…

THIS WEEK’S INSPIRATION CHALLENGE:

We wanted to pick something completely different for this week’s challenge, and this is about as different as you can get! This may look real, but it is actually a metal sculpture by artists Kari von Wening and Jan Bush, titled Luna Moth.

Study this sculpture carefully and use your imagination to interpret it into a floral design. By interpreting this moth sculpture into a designs you are proving inspiration can truly be found anywhere! I think there are tons of aspects to this sculpture you can emphasize. The cascading lower wings.. the long, fuzzy antenna… the possibilities are endless!

We cannot wait to see what you come up with!

HOW TO ENTER:

Entering is EASY! Simply:

• Go to our Facebook Page
• Post a photo of your design on our wall or email it to mandy@flowershopnetwork.com
• Be sure to include the name of your shop. (If your shop has a Facebook Page, link it by typing @ and your shop’s name)
• Please specify it as being an entry to the contest. “My entry for the design contest.”

WINNERS:

(This has changed a bit since the last contest)
You have one week to create and enter your challenge arrangement. Then, there will be two types of voting — think Idol. Round 1 is open public voting on our website for your top 5 finalists! Then those finalists move on to Round 2 where our FSN Design Team will judge them based on creativity, style and how well their design interprets that week’s inspiration.

How the judging works: Our design team will score each finalist on 3 categories: style, creativity, interpretation.  Each category is worth 20 points for a total of 60 points. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at mandy@flowershopnetwork.com
