The competitors receive two secret assignments, which are presented at the start of the competition. The color scheme and inspiration are drawn from one of the new trends in Elmia Garden Trends (released in May). All materials are provided on-site.
Competition Leader: Nicklas Jensen
The assignments are evaluated through a blind judging process, meaning the judges do not know which florist created which piece. Each category—color, composition, idea, and technique—can receive up to 25 points. The evaluation considers composition rules, grouping techniques, rhythm, balance, proportions, external shape, color transitions, creativity, stability, and firmness.
