For 26 years, the partnership between The Parade Company and the Skillman Foundation has inspired young designers by giving them a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see their vision come to life on Thanksgiving morning. The Skillman Foundation and The Parade Company has a popular contest for Detroit students ranging in grades four through eight, the chance to design a larger-than-life float that will be included in this year’s parade. The winning designer will be joined by family and teachers as their imagination is brought to life. The winner of the 26th Annual Skillman Foundation Float Design Contest for America’s Thanksgiving Parade® presented by Art Van is Yuliana Ortiz.
Yuliana Ortiz will have the honor of leading her float down the parade route on Thanksgiving morning.
