Suntory Flowers is partnering with America in Bloom (AIB) on a new social media photo contest. The winner will receive the Alive With Flowers – Sunbeam Social Media Award on October 1 during AIB’s national awards symposium in St. Louis, MO.
Anyone can enter, and there’s no limit to the number of entries.
- Create a digital photo album showcasing how your town is Alive With Flowers. Include captions describing the pictures.
- Post it to your Facebook and/or Instagram accounts and tag the pages of Suntory Flowers and America in Bloom.
- Deadline to enter is July 31.
- In addition to the recognition, the winner will receive a prize of 210 21-cell Sun Parasol mandevilla plants (10 trays) to plant a tropical paradise in 2023.
The award is inspired by Suntory’s first yellow mandevilla, ‘Sun Parasol Original Sunbeam’. This year also marks the 20th anniversary of the Sun Parasol mandevilla brand, which brought the tropical blooms into mainstream gardening and landscaping all over the world.
“In addition to the award being inspired by the phenomenal response to Sunbeam, we’ve been promoting how flowers brighten our world in our Alive With Flowers campaign.” says Delilah Onofrey, Marketing Director for Suntory Flowers in North America. “This is a great opportunity to take that message to the next level and really engage with those planting pride in their towns.”

Its mission is to create welcoming and vibrant places to live work and play.
