Artistic creations
Each team will have to design and implement an artistic creation using only natural material (see Design Rules section below).
Be creative !!! Suggested themes are: Landscape, Animals and People but feel free to use your imagination.
Please refrain from any political themes, this is intended as a fun community event.
The creation must fit within a rectangular area of 90cm by 120cm (approximately 3 feet by 4 feet) in a space assigned by the organizers.
Each team will have 4 hours to implement their creation on the day of the event. It is strongly suggested that designs and materials be prepared before the event to be able to meet the timeline.
While the organizer can provide some of the building material, it is expected that each team will obtain their own building materials. For example consider looking in friends backyards, picking leaves and petals at the park, asking local florist for left overs.
Engage your community and friends !!!

Design Rules
The design of the artistic creation may be prepared in advance of the event date (recommended given the limited time at the event). This design can be transferred onto the allocated space only in the following ways:
Using chalk
Using a large paper where the design has been drawn. The artistic creation must cover the entire drawing.
The actual creation must satisfy the following rules:
It must be a 2-dimensional design, created using only natural material, and in particular only: flowers, leaves (including needles) and seeds.
Both fresh and dried petals can be used.
The natural material cannot be modified with paint or other artificial coloring methods.
No wood can be used in any part of the artistic creation.
Water may be used to maintain humidity in the floral creation and avoid premature drying of the creation (spray bottles will be provided by the organizer).
No glues, wires, threads or any other bonding material may be used.
