The 2016 Public Flower Arrangements Contest Hongkou Division Preliminary was held on August 16. A total of 46 participants from Hongkou, Huangpu, Yangpu, and Baoshan were competing for places in the municipal level heat.
It is learned that the preliminary was organized by the Shanghai Flower Arrangements Association and Shanghai Municipal Afforestation Committee Office and hosted by the Hongkou District Afforestation Committee Office. With the theme “home floral arrangements”, participants were required to complete their works independently within 45 minutes, and they carefully created the works with their strengths by using the flowers provided by the organizers. 14 competitors won the ticket to the semi-finals.
It is said that the semi-final will be held in September where each piece of works has to be independently completed within 60 minutes with a name.
