A totally colourful experience whereby the shades of colour blend beautifully together. The dark accents are especially noticable at the edges. The arrangement is richly decorated with bulb flowers, is full of fine details and is tightly and carefully decorated. The sfeer is created by the matching entertainment and music. A feest for the senses.

Jury:
This floats has an amazing amount of detail including feathers. The bird at the front with its stunning eyes is particularly noticable. The peacock is also striking. The float could use a few more bulb flowers, but they are tightly staked and well lit. The colours shine beautifully thanks to the lighting.
3rd Prize Best Float
Ap(e)tly Proud
Municipality of Lisse
Floral Design: Karin Pasman
Decorators: Scouting Shawano’s
Jury:
Beautifully and expertly decorated. The detail of the heart between the Ape's tails is fun and is striking by its simplicity. The arrangements are pale on the dark ape and dark on the pale Ape making an interesting contrast. The float's theme is clear, the front catches the eye and the entertainment with the apes is well done.
