And the winners are\u2026<\/p>\n
Flower petal-decorated floats were awarded honors for the 137th Rose Parade<\/a> with Cal Poly Universities taking top honors for their “Jungle Jumpstart<\/a>” creation.<\/p>\n The float constructed and decorated by students at Cal Poly Pomona and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo depicts a group of rainforest animals working together to restore an old robot. The design features 21,000 flowers plus other materials including ground coffee beans, curly willow and walnut shells.<\/p>\n The Sweepstakes Award has been presented at each parade since 1924. It honors the most beautiful entry encompassing float design, floral presentation and entertainment.<\/p>\n “Jungle Jumpstart” is the only parade float designed and built entirely by students. The project was a joint effort between California State University students on both the Cal Poly campus and California State Polytechnic University in Pomona, which are separated by about 250 miles.<\/p>\n This year’s theme was “The Magic in Teamwork.”<\/p>\n Did you have a favorite float?
