Show off your best image of Florida’s colorful native blooms in the Florida
Wildflower Festival Art Contest presented by the River of Lakes Heritage
Corridor.
The art contest is held in conjunction with the third annual Florida Wildflower
Festival, which will be held on Saturday, March 28, 2009 on West Indiana Avenue
in Downtown DeLand. Originally having a Volusia County focus, the festival is
gradually expanding into a statewide celebration and a forum to encourage
wildflower propagation both commercially and residentially. The atmosphere is
lively with family-friendly programs, hands-on demonstrations, children's
activities, entertainment, field trips and wildflower products for sale. The
festival is free and open to the public.
The first-place contestant will receive a cash prize of $500, and will be
featured on this year’s festival poster, t-shirt and note cards. The second-
and third-place winners will also receive cash prizes and be featured on event
merchandise.
