2020-"Rise Up"

 

On Saturday, February 2, 2019, the Board of Directors reviewed 53 float design submissions in an all-day meeting and selected  6 finalists to be presented to the General Membership for their review and ranking.

On Thursday, February 7, 2019 the General Membership reviewed the 6 finalists and through a series of votes, ranked the designs.
Here is a 360 degree view of the Pick-The-Float meeting.  This image may not work on all browsers.
On Wednesday, February 13, 2019 we registered our top two choices from the Pick-The-Float meeting at Theme Draft, held at Tournament House in Pasadena.

On Sunday, March 3, 2019, we received confirmation from Pasadena Tournament of Roses that our membership's #1 choice was accepted making Lisa Long of Dublin, California our Design Contest Winner.

The working title of Lisa's design is "Rise Up".  This is Lisa's first time winning Burbank Tournament of Roses Association's Design Contest.  Congratulation!

On April 8, 2019 the Design Committee released its first line drawings showing a lot of the ideas presented in the previous Design meetings.
On April 10th a cleaned-up line drawing was released by the Design Committee

The Design Committee continues to tweak and refine the line drawing--can you spot the differences between the two drawings above?

On April 29th, the Design Committee released this final (?) line drawing.  Now the Decorations Committee will work on adding the colors.

On Thursday, May 16, 2019 the General Membership reviewed and voted on 49 finalist titles and picked their favorite "Rise Up" as the official float title.

This is the final black and white line drawing, next up, adding color.

To the left is the draft color rendering, while there is still more to work on, this is our first time seeing most of the selected colors that our Decorations Committee has selected.
The color rendering continues to be fine tuned and enhanced.

This float entry was inspired by the fire tragedies in California and shows that out of the ashes, the phoenix will rise up as a symbol of Hope.

On July 1, 2019 the final color rendering was released.  The final color rendering is by Ronni Cranston with custom music by Ben Knorr.
