WILLMAR HANGING BASKETS DESIGN COMPETITION
download Competition Brief(pdf)

In an effort to beautify the downtown area, Willmar has installed permanent planter baskets on downtown light posts.  The baskets provide color and interest to the downtown streets. 

Rather than plant the usual tried-and-true in its downtown baskets, however, Willmar would like to innovate – to provide the lush color and interest of traditional hanging baskets in a way that is uniquely Willmar. 

Therefore, the Willmar Design Center, a non-profit organization working to improve downtown Willmar, is hosting a juried competition to design and install the plants in its downtown hanging baskets.  The winning submitter will be paid for plant material and installation according to cost estimates set forth in their submission.
