Blue Grass Project Wins Again in International Floral Show

And a homegrown Boholano artist does it again in the global arena!

Joseph Ven Garay Dumadag receives his award from FDSS President Damien Koh Pfci Aifd and Singapore Senior Minister of State Simm Ann

Blue Grass Project’s Joseph Ven Garay Dumadag recently won for the Philippines the Best Creative Design Award, Professional Category, at the prestigious 12th International FDSS Floral Design Competition held in Singapore. 

Award-winning entry

His prize-winning entry, "Metal” was an homage and testament to the grace, resilience and strength of metal which is forged to last several lifetimes. The wonderful thing about metal is it only gets more beautiful and interesting as it ages and matures over the years. It takes up to 500 years for metal to crumble into dust and blend into the atmosphere. 

Most recent award

During the same floral competition that gathered some of the world's top florists,  stylists and the movers &  shakers of the floral industry, Mr. Dumadag further enthused that his entry is a floral celebration of metal. 

Blue Grass Project, the Bohol-based creative collaboration of Joseph Ven Dumadag and Michael Yu and one of the country's top event stylists is no stranger to making a splash in international exhibits and competitions.
