Applying for London or New York
In no more than 300 words, tell us why you would like to win a scholarship, why the judges should select you, and how it will help your professional career. This can be in any format - email text, Word, or PDF.
Part Two -Put together a mini-portfolio of images to show the judges some of your own work with flowers, and to show them how you think creatively. Don’t worry if you don’t have many images, or the quality isn’t as good as you’d like - our judges aren’t looking for professionals with years of experience - they’re looking for people who can show they have natural talent and creativity and the potential to successfully advance their career.
Your mini-portfolio can be in any file format you like (JPEG, Word, PowerPoint or PDF), but the file size must not exceed 20Mb in total.
Although not compulsory, the judges would love you to share images of some or all of your floral creations used in your mini-portfolio on Instagram. Simply tag your images with @mcqueensflowerschool and #floralscholarship
Winners will be informed by email and announced on social media on Wednesday 5th August 2020All submissions from applicants will be reviewed by the McQueens International Flower School creative team who will determine 10 finalists for the two scholarship position at McQueens Flower School in London and 5 finalists for the bespoke training at McQueens Flowers New York. The scholars will be chosen randomly and all the runners up will receive 30% discount on the Vocational Course or One Week Course or any New York class.
