Welcome to the latest Fusion Flowers magazine/ AmaryllisInfo competition which is entitled ‘Party Time with Amaryllis!’. This time we would like you to use your craftsmanship and imagination to create designs for the party season. The design is up to you but judges will be looking for excellent technique and craftsmanship, interpretation of the title and publication worthiness.
1 Amaryllis / Hippeastrum must be the main feature of the design. Other fresh flowers may be used but no artificial plant material is permitted.
2 The design should be created to interpret the theme.
3 The type and style of the design is up to you.
4 Entries open on 20 November 2021 and close on 18 December 2021 at midnight UK time.
5 Entries should be sent via private message to the main Fusion Flowers magazine page and should show your name, location, photographers name (permission to publish if successful) and can include (if appropriate) your company, website, page link etc - you can send in a maximum of 5 photographs of the design shot at different angles but must include one clear, full shot of the entire design.
6 The entry should be your own work or should state if more than one person was involved.
7 You may send as many entries as you wish.
8 Please post the design on your own page and send us a link to your page because photographs sent by private message are often reduced in resolution by Facebook.
9 If successful, you must be able to supply the photograph in high resolution for printing/publication purposes and it must be in focus.
10 AmaryllisInfo may use your photographs for marketing purposes but will feature your name and that of the photographer.
11 Judges will be looking for originality, good craftsmanship and excellent technique. The designs should be suitable for publication in international design magazines as we will be sharing the winning designs with other publishers.
12 The judge’s decision is final.
13 The results will be posted on the main Fusion Flowers magazine page.
14 This is an independent competition and has nothing to do with Facebook.
15 At the beginning of 2022 there will be an announcement about a special prize that will be awarded based on the competitions on our page held throughout the year.
