In the large sacks are colorfully dressed Black Pieters jumping up and down on trampolines. This causes the special effects of lights going on and off.

Modern sport school "Pieters" are dancing, jogging and training to scratch-music improvised from Sint Nicolaas songs. The "Pieters" are dressed in modern day clothing.

The inspiration for this design is the shoe which plays an important role during the Sint Nicolaas days. The singers in front of the shoe are singing one of various Sint Nicolaas songs: "O, kom er eens kijken, wat ik in mijn schoentje vind" ("Oh, do come and see what I have found in my shoe...").

From inside the houses is heard piano music and childrens' voices singing Sint Nicolaas songs. Sint Nicolaas parades and family scenes of Sint Nicolaas celebrations from the past are projected on semi-transparant windows. Outside on the roofs the Pieters are excitedly jumping up and down around the chimneys.

"Who's good will get candy, who's naughty the cane" is the basis of this project of a house of piled up canes. In and around the entrance the Pietes are playing hide-and-seek. They put in motion the rocking back and forth of the regimental rocking horses who have on their backs long, thin staves with canes on the end.

This project shows one of Sint Nicolaas' favorite dogs. The enormous marzipan poodle stands between the colorfully packed parcels from which Black Pieters appear and disappear.

The horse with Sint Nicolaas is an ice sculpture and is standing on an ice rink with two Pieters skating around. At the end of the parade the ice sculpture of this good holy man will have changed.

Cecile van der Heiden
The inspiration for this project comes from when Sint Nicolaas was young with no beard and just like Dik Trom sat back to front on a rocking horse. The Black Pieters throw him balls which he in turn tries to throw down the chimney. If he succeeds the Pieters cheer him, if he fails they show their displeasure by making a lot of noise with various instruments.

Sint Nicolaas' steamboat of papaer bricks sails over a sea of waves made of roof tiles from Amtserdam houses. Steam appears from the funnel.

Black Pieter is sitting on a motor bike pulling a silver/gold moon that slowly turns. Branches are swaying and every now and again a cloud of smoke appears from a smoke machine.

The irregular wheels give the extra rolling and dancing effect of the floats through the streets of Amsterdam. The scrap metal has been formed into colorful attributes of the Sint Nicolaas celebrations and make a great deal of noise.

Peter Zegveld
This is a float with an enormous cannon that shoots of "pepernoten" into the air.

Leo N. Cahn
This project is a very large Sint Nicolaas gift. It opens and closes whereby very slowly all sorts of exceptionally colored and formed packages appear and disappear.

The essence of this design is a music intrument. As long as the float moves a mechanical device enables the hamers to play the song, "Sinterklaas Kapoentje". The tempo of the song rises when the float speeds up. On top of the float is a Black Pieter as driver and a mechanic who with an oil can from time to time oils the mechanical parts so that the double looped bubble thrower produces larger soap bubbles.
