What do the judges look for when judging the floral arrangements?
The judging is technical, with points given for the methodological use of color, depth, line, balance, focal emphasis, unity and proportion. Points are also awarded for flawless mechanics (neatness, hiding of support systems, technical prowess), appropriate interpretation for the category, as well as creativity. Judges strive to set aside subjective opinions about the designs, and will give high points for a well-executed design that may not be to their personal taste.
