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. 

PREVIOUS INTL AWARDS

A few years back, Blue Grass Project won for the Philippines the Best in Design Concept and Composition Award at the 1st World Orchid Association International Floral Skills Category,  Buddha Flower Show held in Kuala Lumpur,  Malaysia, the Bronze Medal at the Japan International Flower Show, Gold Prize at the Putrajaya Body Flower Competition, Best Table Decor at the Sanya International Flower Festival in Hainan, among others.

Bohol Wins Big In Intl Floral Design Tilt

And here’s some good news from the ongoing Royal Floria Malaysia International Flower and Garden Festival being held in Putrajaya, Malaysia.

The Philippines, represented by our very own Joseph Ven Dumadag & Michael Yu of Blue Grass Project & assisted by Glenn Varquez, was declared Grand Champion in the Body Flower Competition which opened the week- long international floral design competition & exhibition.

Blue Grass Project is the florist of choice for most Bohol- based wedding planners & event coordinators.   

 Winning Entry: The Lady Bug

Aptly named “The Lady Bug”, the floral artwork modeled by Janice combined orchids, wicker sticks from Bohol & ficus lyrata that was brought all the way from Aliguay, Maribojoc, Bohol.

A positive first impression among the jurors, observers & organizers, I must say. Congratulations & thank you for showcasing Boholano artistry in the global arena! Cheers!
