Another GreenTech Innovation Award Nominee

Last December, there was a slight mix-up during the Miss Universe competition. The Colombian Ariadna Gutierrez was crowned Miss Universe, but had to hand the crown to Pia Wurtzbach from the Philippines two minutes later. "I have to apologize," the flustered presenter said when he had to take the crying ex-winner's crown. So you see: an error in an election can happen to the best of us.

The Miss Universe competition of horticulture, the GreenTech Innovation Award, also didn't go entirely smoothly. When the nominees were published, it turned out one of the candidates was missing. So here is the complete list of nominees.
