Print the form and create your design within the vertical rectangle. Some things to consider when creating your design: Bigger is better. Large graphics will translate better to the banner than a smaller, more intricate design. Think bold. Strong, saturated colors will translate well. Consider your medium for reproduction. The artwork will be scanned into a computer to create the banner. Paints and markers may reproduce better than crayons or pencils. Some cropping near the edges may occur when the banners are created. Keep this in mind when you design and keep your most important images toward the center of the banner. All entries should include a flower or flowers.
