Please submit your idea (max. 250 characters & an optional image) at www.lcftra.org by Monday, January 12, 2026 [note - longer entries or entries that span submissions as continuations may not be fully read]
The winning design will be announced in Spring, 2026. If your design is chosen, you will receive two tickets to the 2027 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 2027 Rose Parade theme will not be announced until January, we can offer this teaser: The 2027 theme is about being seen, valued, and heard, just for being you. Let’s celebrate a world where everyone matters, everyone has a place where they belong and everyone is cherished.
Join the fun and your float design could be traveling down Colorado Boulevard on January 1, 2027.
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.
