Welcome to the
100% Organic Hand-Tied Bouquet Challenge.
From March 1st to April 12th, we received over 60 entries for the 100% Organic Hand-Tied Bouquet Challenge. Florists & flower lovers all over the world challenged themselves to think sustainably and create Hand-Tied Bouquets composed of completely organic materials, with an emphasis on compostability. Today we excitedly announce our finalists, judged by FREESIA Challenge founding partners, Gregor Lersch & Hitomi Gilliam. Entries were judged on an extensive list of criteria, including Aesthetics, Material Use, Sustainable Practices, as well as their Sustainability Statement… a requirement of the challenge.
Our Gold Medal Winner, Felicia Kang, won a Speaking Opportunity at this fall’s virtual FREESIA Summit including a $1500 USD Speaker Fee. Felicia will now have the honour and platform to speak alongside confirmed speakers such as Susan McLeary, Shane Connolly, Per Benjamin, Max Van de Sluis, Gregor Lersch, Hitomi Gilliam, & more. Each of our Top 3 finalists also received Full Registration to the 3-day FREESIA Summit as well (Approx. $199 Value).
Also, all of our Top 10 Finalists will receive a FREESIA Challenge Medal of Recognition..
We thank all entrants of the FREESIA Challenge for their commitment and willingness to design with sustainability in mind. We salute all of our TOP 10 FINALISTS’ designs in their excellent use of organic materials, advanced technical abilities and execution, and thought-provoking messages on sustainability.
