Hawaii Wedding Designers: Info on the OWA/NACE Hawaii Tabletop Design Contest

NACE Hawaii Webmaster — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 01:55:42 +0000

It’s that time of year again, where we challenge the best creative minds in the Hawaii wedding industry for a night of fun and friendly competition with the Second Annual OWA/NACE Hawaii Tabletop Design Contest! This year’s contest will expand on last year’s event to make it more fun, challenging, and creative!

This year’s contest happens during the NACE Hawaii/OWA joint meeting on Tuesday, October 12, 2010, at the Honolulu Suites at the Sheraton Waikiki. Setup begins at 3:30pm, with judging to begin at 6:00pm. This is your opportunity to showcase your creativity, your talents, your team’s talents, and have some fun in the process. Cash prizes for the top designs!

Here are the contest rules:

Teams will consist of a minimum of two people and a maximum of four people. Team members may belong to more than one team (e.g., a florist may contribute her talents to more than one team, if it’s okay with the designers involved).
There is a $40 entry fee per team.
Team identities will be kept secret during judging, in order to keep the judging impartial and objective.
Designers will be creating designs for a table of 10 guests.
The Sheraton Waikiki will supply a standard banquet round table, chairs, linen, china, silver, and glassware from their own house supply, but you are invited to bring in your own in order to achieve a more original look. If you want to use the Sheraton equipment, please submit a list of your needs to Eugene or Herb so that they can request the items from the venue. We will need your list no later than Monday, Oct. 4th.
You may begin to load-in and set up at 3:30pm, and you have two hours to set up, from 3:30-5:30pm. All decor must be brought on location that day and taken down at the end of the event.
Bringing in specialty items that will require access to the loading dock? Please advise Herb or Eugene so that the hotel can be notified.
Set-up location is in the Honolulu Suites. Your table and material, if you requested it in advance, will be ready for you when you arrive.
You are limited to a budget of $250.
This year’s theme is Green/Sustainability.
Judging: Your peers (NACE Hawaii & OWA members) who attend the meeting that night will anonymously judge and vote for their favorite designs during cocktail hour and dinner. Judging will close at the end of dinner, and winners will be announced at the end of the night.

Cash prizes (and a year’s worth of bragging rights) for winning teams!

Aloha NACE Hawaii Chapter Members!

As your chapter president, I need to remind you not to pass up the discounted rate of $995.00 (which ends today 03/31/10) of the NACE Experience 2010 in Austin, TX on July 25-28, 2010. Click here for more info on the conference.

After today the fee for the NACE Experience 2010 jumps to $1095.00.

From past experience, the NACE Experience has given me the education, the networking with NACE members around the USA, and the “New” concepts of event designing, food presentation, and internet knowledge that is worth its weight in gold.

You say you don’t have the cash for it now? There is a 3 month installment payment plan that you can charge to your credit card. Click on the link below and choose on the “installment payment form”; print it out and fill it out; then fax to the phone number listed on the form.

I do hope to see all of you at the NACE Experience 2010 in Austin, July 25-28, 2010!

Warmest Aloha!
