Retail Window Division



In celebration of the annual Newport Flower Show, we invite merchants to enter the Retail Window Display Division. The purpose of the division is to promote synergy between businesses, The Newport Flower Show and the many visitors in town for this event. Windows are displayed to reflect the spirit and the theme of the show. This year’s theme is Salsa – A Celebration of Latin Cultures.

Judges will award 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Honorable Mention ribbons based on the best interpretation and incorporation of the show theme into their display. The division will include two groups, national and local retail. Participants may be further segmented geographically depending on the number of entries.

Each participant will receive a letter of acknowledgement and an Appreciation Ribbon. Judging will take place on Monday, June 18, 2012. Ribbons will be awarded on Tuesday, June 19, 2012, enabling awarded ribbons to be on display throughout the week leading up to opening day of the Newport Flower Show on Friday, June, 22, 2012. Window displays will remain in place through Sunday, June 24, 2012 in celebration of The Newport Flower Show weekend.

Advance registration required.
