IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO DESIGN 
NEXT YEARS FLOAT.

This year’s design contest will be held until Friday, February 5th 
2016. While incoming Tournament of Roses President Brad Ratliff 
has not officially announced his 2017 Parade Theme, we do know 
that the theme is a take on his father’s theme of the 1999 parade, 
“Echoes of the Century”, and is reflection of our successes. 

The 2017 theme will officially be unveiled on January 21, 2016 at 
the Tournament’s annual installation meeting. 

Brad Ratliff's Float Design Hint for the upcoming 2017 
Tournament President is:

The 2017 Rose Parade and Rose Bowl Game tells the story of how 
our character has developed through the selfless contributions of 
others and celebrates their inspirational gifts. Our successes are 
unique to each of us. Success is not gauged by the final score, not 
by how much wealth we accumulate and should not be weighed 
against the accomplishments of others. 

Success is measured by our own personal satisfaction in knowing 
that we achieved our utmost by doing our best. 

Your daughter’s first piano recital. 

A Special Olympian crossing the finish line. 

A wounded warrior’s first steps. 

All are examples of success. 

But success cannot be achieved alone. We need the support and 
influences of others. Family, teachers, friends, organizations and 
coaches contribute to our success. Music, art and education further 
inspire our success. Theses echoes help make us who we are. 
Americas New Year Celebration for 2017 celebrates those people 
and institutions that have been instrumental in helping each of 
us and in helping others achieve success. It’s about the people and 
cultures that lend us a hand in reaching our destination.

So get your pencil to paper and submit a design.

See http://www.smrosefloat.org/get-involved/design-a-float for 
more information and for the submission forms.
