The new year (or, 2010-2011 season) is underway after the Cal Poly Rose Float team has chosen the winning entry design for the 2011 Tournament of Roses Parade. The winning entry features a troop of children building a rocket ready to Blast Off!! The imaginative float includes a planet and a rocket floating on clouds as children work together to assemble the rocket of their dreams. The design is an interpretation of the 2010-2011 Tournament of Roses Parade theme, “Building Memories, Friendships, and Dreams.” The concept was chosen during this year’s concept contest where 98 entries were submitted. Cal Poly Pomona and San Luis Obispo teamed up, and after four rounds of voting, chose their top five concepts, which were submitted to the Tournament of Roses for final approval. Three out of the five concepts were approved. After the approval process, the Rose Float Leadership Teams continued to develop the top concept. The next stage of the process consists of the two campuses coming together to hold the Design/ Deco/ Construction (DDC) meeting where the two campuses will decide the elements of the float, including how many characters are present on the float, what colors elements are, as well as what elements are animated. All details will be submitted to an independent artist for the rendering; the official drawing of what the float will look like. [The preliminary design can be seen below.]
Thank you to everyone who submitted a concept for this year’s contest. The Cal Poly Concept Contest is open to both students and non-students. The winning entry for the 2011 concept contest was submitted by Michael Roussin, a third year mechanical engineering student from Cal Poly Pomona.
Cal Poly Pomona Rose Float will continually update their website with more information. Last Updated (Saturday, 26 June 2010 23:11) |
