The top 10 finalists were chosen by a selection committee made up of industry\u00a0members who scored based on commercial appeal, creativity, and how much the video highlights fresh flowers in a positive way. The top 10 videos were then voted on by consumers, industry members and anyone else on social media. The video that received the most votes was then determined to be the grand prize winner of $4,000 and the second and third highest-voted videos received honorable mentions of $500.
