NOW BACK TO…
THIS WEEK’S INSPIRATION CHALLENGE:
A delicate jellyfish with lacy white tentacles. . Study this photo carefully and use your imagination to interpret it into a floral design. I can definitely see this as a frilly bouquet or cascading arrangement. This inspiration is a great exercise for your textures, usage of line and other elements/principles of design. We hope these challenges are helping you to learn to see design in your every day lives.
This contest is over, click here to see the winners.
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)
- Include the name of the designer (Optional if you are only submitting one per shop.)
- Please specify it as being an entry to the contest. “My entry for the design contest.”
- Include a brief description of your design and how it was inspired by that week’s challenge (Optional)
HOW TO WIN:
You have 2 weeks 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
Timeline:
- Contest Begins (Today, Aug 27)
- Two weeks to design (Aug 27-Sept 9)
- One week to vote (Sept 10-16)

Each winner will receive a great FSN tote bag and awards certificate, plus a special feature on our blog with their arrangement, a link to their shop’s website, an awards certificate and a great, big FSN tote bag! They will also be promoted on our Twitter and Facebook for two weeks. After 6 challenge winners (September) we will have a Tournament of Inspiration and our top winning designers will compete for a grand prize! (More on this later)
