The Florence Chamber has a public contest for a design of the 120th Rhododendron Festival logo, but the deadline is quickly approaching.

A release from the chamber said amateur and professional graphic designers are encouraged to submit a logo design to fit the theme. Designs must incorporate the rhododendron flower, an element representative of the Florence area such as river, bridge, ocean, beach, lakes, dunes, or lighthouse scenes, along with the theme and “120th Rhododendron Festival 2027, Florence, Oregon.”

Entries are to be emailed to info@FlorenceChamber.com by Monday, November 16th, with the subject line “2027 Logo Contest.” The winner will be notified by email the following week. Details of the logo contest are available at www.FlorenceChamber.com

The Rhododendron festival opens Saturday night, May 8th with the coronation of Queen Rhododendra, the King of the Coast, and their royal court at the Florence Events Center.

The designer of the selected logo will win $250. An entry form and contest rules are available at www.FlorenceChamber.com.
