Home2025 Float Design
     


The La Cañada Flintridge Tourament of Roses Association
(LCFTRA) invites you to submit a Float Design idea for the 2026 LCFTRA Rose Parade Float!

 

Please submit your idea (max. 250 characters & an optional image) at www.lcftra.org by Friday, January 24, 2025.  [note - longer entries or entries that span submissions as continuations may not be fully read]

The winning design will be announced in Spring, 2025. If your design is chosen, you will receive two tickets to the 2026 Rose Parade!



To guide your creative thinking, a compelling Float design idea should:

* Be simple and easy to understand (a viewer should “get it” in 5 seconds or less)
* Be animated, with elements of whimsy, humor, and surprise; and
* Reflect the Rose Parade Theme
 
While the 2026 Rose Parade theme will not be announced until January, we can offer this teaser: The 2026 theme celebrates the power of achieving great things together.




Join the fun and your float design could be traveling down Colorado Boulevard on January 1, 2026.



In the event we received multiple designs with a similar approach, LCFTRA will select one winner. The contest winner will be determined by LCFTRA membership status, submission time/date, and which concept most closely resembles the final float design. LCFTRA reserves the right to change designs based on organizational need.

All submitted ideas and developed designs are the property of LCFTRA.
