Second is the float car ‘Golden coach’ of Corsogroup KAVB Hillegom-Haarlem eo and ended on the third place is float car ‘Royal Museum’ of the municipality of Leiden.
Motivation of the jury
1st place: Most beautiful float car ‘Dutch Icons’ of Keukenhof
Motivation of the jury: “This car is an example of functional flower arrangements and perfectly executed. The wow effect is particularly enhanced by the color blue in the hyacinths. Although the hyacinths were styled remained the “real” hyacinths. Liked the jury that even in difficult places no substance but real flowers are processed. Unfortunately, the jury found, however, the truncated rear of the car. The bottom hand was again fantastic with the planting of one species tulips. A float even without figuration 1st place in this category deserved.”
2nd place: float car ‘Golden coach’ of Corso Group Hillegom Haarlem eo
Motivation of the jury: “The flower arrangements were beautifully integrated, particularly in the mane and tail of the horse. The silhouette of the Golden coach was beautiful while only one color was used. However, the jury that the horses, which are made of dark hyacinths, the lines could be highlighted in the body longer. If there are, for example, bulbous flowers, such as tulips, would be used for the road instead of begonias, this would result in high float eyes may have thrown.”
3th place: ‘Royal Museum’ of the municipality of Leiden
Motivation of the jury: “The jury finds that the floral work is done in different styles. Provided, however disturbing at all, because the styles fit together. The dinosaur is perfect, but the jury would have preferred the inside of the cup also seen with flowers. Pleased the jury that the rear of the car is not forgotten. The float also has a nicely finished back. The head of the dinosaur and the yellow of sarcophagus had the same color and therefore walked into each other. The quality of the flowers was good and certainly those of the daffodils. 3rd place at the floats is therefore more than deserved.”
Category luxury and promotion cars
1st place: car No. 22 Renault – participant: Renault Nieuwendijk
Motivation of the jury: “The package is sophisticated and creative with beautiful contemporary braids and knot work. The balance between the car and the flower arrangements is fine and therefore the 1st place in the category of luxury cars was achieved.”
2nd place: car No. 38 Volkswagen Up – participant: ActiVite
Motivation of the jury: “Beautiful color combination between the car and the choice of flowers. A nice touch are the crowns.”
3th place: car No. 46 Ford transit – participant: DW Kozijnen
Motivation of the jury: “Beautiful trendy color combination with known flowers. Good handling of the flowers with depth in the arrangements. The starting point to make on this car is difficult due to the large amount of publicity, but the result is ultimately the 3rd place in this category.”
