The spotlight continued to shine on The Hague as the World Cup Floral Art 2025 moved into its second challenge. From 28 to 31 August, the World Forum hosts 23 of the world’s most talented floral designers, each proudly representing their country on this global stage.

Organized by Royal VBW in collaboration with the international florists’ association Florint, the World Cup is recognized as the pinnacle of floral artistry, showcasing unmatched creativity and technical mastery from the best in the industry.

World Cup Floral Art has four main sponsors: Marginpar, Decorum, Oasis Floral Products Benelux, and Jodeco Glass.

Task 2 - Surprise Task Plant Arrangement

For the second assignment, competitors faced an exciting twist — they created a plant arrangement, but all the specifics remained a surprise until the task began.

The theme, description, requirements, size limits, techniques, and preparations were only revealed on the spot, pushing each designer’s creativity and adaptability to the limit. They had 90 minutes to bring their vision to life, with all materials supplied by the organization, ensuring a fair and level playing field for every participant.

A Celebration of Creativity 

Beyond Tasks 1 and 2, competitors at the World Cup have taken on three additional floral design challenges spread across the event days. Each creation was assessed by an esteemed international jury, evaluating not only creativity but also artistic vision, technical precision, innovation, and overall presentation.

The anticipation reached its peak on Saturday, August 30, when the new World Champion was announced during a spectacular theatrical finale. 

This is more than a competition; it’s a complete floral experience. The program featured live demonstrations, interactive workshops, and inspiring exhibitions by some of the world’s leading floral designers. Visitors discovered the latest trends and techniques shaping the future of floral artistry, and by securing tickets via the official World Cup website, you gained the rare opportunity to meet top designers and experience world-class floristry up close.
