In celebration of its 60th anniversary, the American Institute of Floral Designers (AIFD), in collaboration with the AIFD Foundation announces a year-long floral design competition: the ' 'Designs of the Decades Competition'." This unique series of contests will kick off on August 1, 2024, with the inaugural decade, the one in which AIFD was formed, The 1960's.
Each competition in the series will pay homage to a different decade of AIFD's history and the evolution of the floral industry. The 'Designs of the Decades' competition is open to all floral designers and enthusiasts, inviting participants to unleash their creativity and commemorate the artistry that has shaped the floral world over the years.
Each of the six competitions will declare a winner who will receive a General Registration to the 2025 AIFD 'Reflection' Symposium in Palm Springs, California. The Symposium will serve as the stage for these talented designers to vie for the 'Designs of the Decades Cup' and other prizes.
