contest launch
Send us photos of your favorite displays for the 2010
“Merchandising Award of Excellence” contest.
You work hard to
create attention-getting, sales-producing merchandising
displays, and Super Floral Retailing and Börgen
Systems want to reward you for your efforts. We’re excited
to announce the call for entries for the 2010 “Merchandising
Award of Excellence” contest.
The contest’s goals are to recognize the nation’s best
floral merchandising displays and to encourage supermarket and
mass-market florists to strive for new heights of excellence in
creativity and quality. Since we began the contest in 1998,
hundreds of florists from supermarkets nationwide and in Canada
have entered their favorite merchandising displays in the hopes
of winning the coveted Börgen Cup.
The contest deadline is April 30, but it’s never too soon to
enter. Entering is as simple as filling out the form (online at
www.superfloralretailing.com/borgencup.html) and
submitting photos of your displays. You may submit digital
images on a CD as long as they are presented in a
high-resolution (300 dpi) format, and a color print of each
image must accompany the CD. Photos will become the property of
Super Floral Retailing and may be published.
Enter as many displays as you like, but please submit a
separate entry form with each display. The contest is open to
floral department and store employees. Contestants will be
eligible to win the Grand Award just once, but there is no limit
on the number of Honor Awards individuals can receive.
If you have questions, please call Editor in Chief Cynthia
McGowan at (800) 355-8086, or e-mail her at
cmcgowan@superfloralretailing.com.
