Côte d’Azur Gardens Festival
BRIEF
The 2019 theme: “Mediterranean Dreams”
The 2019 theme
“Mediterranean dreams” is the chosen theme for the second edition of the Côte d’Azur Gardens Festival:
An invitation to travel, around the Mediterranean, in the world of gardens: the creations will reflect the richness and diversity of the Mediterranean territories and will reveal a part of the coast along the Big Blue.
An invitation to daydreaming where visiting a garden means fleeing to a calm place, convenient for relaxing and enchantment.
This theme will also point out climate and water management concerns in the Mediterranean region.
Throughout the month of April 2019, the Festival will include a landscaping contest open to professionals, out-of-competition “pop-up” ephemeral gardens made by various municipalities and events all over the “département”.
The landscape creations contest
Open from the 30th of March to the 28th of September 2018, the landscaping contest is intended for professionals: landscapers, landscape architects, landscaping companies, landscape gardeners and also architects, designers, artists, scenographers, decorators, designers … provided that they are backed by a landscape company for the realisation of the garden.
The creations made by international teams will be spread among 5 municipalities within the “département”: Antibes / Juan-Les-Pins, Cannes, Grasse, Menton and Nice.
On each municipality will be realised three – 200 m ² landscaping creations, for a total of 15 creations on all the “département”. Thus, the setting up of 3 landscape gardens on the same site will be an attractive showcase for the public.
Three prizes will be awarded : the jury award, the professionals award and the press award. A public award may also be considered.
