The UK Final to find our international Eurofleurs competitor will be held at FleurEx 2022 Saturday 15th October LIVE!
For over 40 years the British Florist Association has encouraged competitions. This opportunity is for our finest young floral designers to compete, the winner will then represent the UK at the 2023 Eurofleurs in Slovenia on 22nd to 26th August 2023.
In Slovenia in 2023, the most talented florists under 27 years of age from Europe and further afield will compete for the title of junior florist champion. This makes Eurofleurs 2023 a sparkling, delightful summer event for the upcoming talent in our industry. Many past winners of the championship have gone on to become internationally acclaimed floral artists.
Sustainability and ‘back to nature’ will be key themes during EUROFLEURS 2023. This hot topic together with the top talent from each country promises to be an amazing spectacle, we can’t wait to cheer on our UK entry.
