(September 1, 2019, Zundert, The Netherlands)
Towering sculptures covered with up to 500,000 dahlia blooms and rising up to three stories tall once again showcased Dutch creativity during the annual "Corso Zundert."
This year's lineup of magnificent floats presented a fresh batch of concepts that were interpreted in creative ways. The floats were built and decorated by neighborhood hamlets
that carry on the community's deeply rooted tradition which began in 1936.
First prize went to "Vikings" which featured a dramatic fleet of ships filled with imposing figures and amazing ornamental details. Second prize overall plus
first place in the People's Choice voting went to "Cursed," a foreboding swamp scene that magically came to life through sophisticated animation and with human actors cleverly embedded in the trees.
Other top winners featured a group of zebras hiding in tall grass, and a group of sock puppets that convincingly seemed to be woven from textured fabrics rather than flowers.
All 20 floats are pictured here in order of appearance. Also see
