Use of Color Award Entry Form guidelines

Entry deadline - December 10, 2019
Entries submitted in this category should be for a project demonstrating effective use of annual and/or perennial plants for landscape color. Entries in this category will first be judged by industry experts. The top 3 finalists determined by the judges will be voted on by the public through the ALCC web site and social media.  The top project as determined by the judges will win one ELITE award. And the top project as determined by the public vote will receive an ELITE award. So there will be two awards in this category - the judge's choice and people's choice.
