The Interflora World Cup is arguably the biggest event in floristry. Every four years since 1972, the best of the best florists from around the world compete in a major international city to win the coveted title of Interflora World Champion. Each designer is at the top of their game, putting their skills to the ultimate test for a chance to raise the World Cup 2023 trophy.

The AIFD Foundation annually awards grants and scholarships to floral design students and professional floral designers. One of the newest scholarships is S.H.I.N.E. (Scholarships Help Inspire Nurturing Education). This scholarship offers professional floral designers the opportunity to continue their floral design education through a specialized mentorship with some of the absolute best floral designers in our industry.
