Europa Cup
Since 1967, the International Florist Organisation organizes a contest named EUROPA CUP. The contest serves as a comparison in skills, craftsmanship and creativity between florists originating from different countries. It also serves the professionals to get to know various trends in floristry and moreover, it is an important source of innovation in floral design. The contest further aims at increasing the florist’s image and promoting flower consumption and flower gifts. As a general rule, the Europa Cup takes place every fourth year: exceptions are permissible and are to be decided by the FLORINT General Assembly.
Participation:
One florist of each European country is allowed to take part in the contest. By way of exception, florists from non-European countries may also be accepted, if desired. In that case applications should be addressed to the Direction Committee of FLORINT
The contestants shall be nominated by the national florist associations, members of FLORINT. In countries where there is more then one member association these associations should agree on the contestant or organise a mutual competition. In countries where there is no member organisation of FLORINT the Fleurop-Interflora Unit of the country concerned or another organisation of professional florists may apply for a place. Applications should be addressed to the direction committee of FLORINT.
Next Europa Cup in 2011:
In the 2009 FLORINT General Assembly was decided to accept the very strong and appealing proposal of the Czech Association to organize the Europa Cup in September 2011 in the city of Havirov.
