2015 Melbourne Flower Show Competition Now Open

Koch & Co is proud to be sponsoring the floral design competition for the second year running at this year’s Melbourne Flower & Garden Show, with Flowers Victoria. A wonderful opportunity to get involved in this historic event, entry is available to all florists state-wide, enabling you to promote your work to over 100,000 floral fans, international visitors and industry insiders. We were impressed with the entries last year (check out our 2014 entries and review of the event), so we hope a lot of florists will be keen to participate this year.

Update: We’re also giving five lucky people a double pass to attend this spectacular floral event! Check out our Facebook or Instagram account, and look for the image from last year’s show to enter. Hint: think big, bold and beautiful floral art. 

This years theme is Floral Vision 360, so we’re looking for floral displays that are suitable for an event, and beautifully balanced from every angle. Displays will be judged by industry representatives and via public vote so there are two chances to win and your arrangement will be displayed at the entrance to the Great Hall of Flowers for the five days of the show. The public are also in with a chance to take home a prize – by voting for their favourite display they’ll go into win flowers delivered to their home every month for six months and one night’s accommodation in the gorgeous Larwill Studio!
