IFEX Flower Awards
This contest was to decide “the future best sells” by Japan’s leading flower shops and famous flower designers, and it was held for the first time. 111 varieties were nominated this year and 3 category winners – Cut Flower, Potted Flower and Overseas Growers – were chosen among them. Winning flowers were guaranteed to be promoted in Japan’s major flower shops and flower schools actively. Japanese consumers will see these flowers in many stores in Japan soon.



The contest was held in the evening of the day before the show, and prize winning flowers were presented in the special exhibit area during the three day show period. The special exhibit area proved to be a popular destination for visitors. Many leading breeders see the awards as the best way to promote their varieties in Japan and Show Management expect a lot more nominations for the next Awards.
