German Championships DMF 2024 in Berlin
The German Floristry Championship will take place on August 16 and 17, 2024
Probably the most colorful and fragrant competition in the country will take place in the fantastic shopping and concept mall BIKINI Berlin. The nine best florists from all over Germany will compete against each other in various disciplines and fight for the German championship title. In 2024 the motto of the German "Oscars in Floral Design" is "Peace". In view of the current political world situation, which is characterized by conflict and uncertainty, the German Floristry Championship calls on people to use the language of flowers to send a message of love, harmony and hope," says Victoria Salomon, chair of the jury, "because that is exactly what flowers have stood for in almost all cultures around the world for thousands of years.
"The candidates, who all qualified for the German Championship in preliminary rounds, are required to create a total of four floral designs: a hand tied bouquet on the theme of the "Conventry Prayer of Reconciliation" (the bouquets will be exhibited in the famous Berlin Memorial Church for a week), a bar or table decoration that interprets a "multicultural get-together", a spatial object that matches the venue "Bikini Berlin" as a symbol of reconstruction and hope, and a floral peace pillar.
The fifth competition task is a surprise work that the participants create completely freely in 120 minutes using materials and components provided just minutes beforehand. The best mix of creativity and craftsmanship wins: the jury pays attention to the evaluation criteria of idea, color, composition and technique. A technical commission also monitors work that complies with the rules, such as adhering to the time limits and using only permitted aids. Judging is based on the 100-point system of the international florists' association florint - mainly using blind judging.
The event in BIKINI Berlin (Budapester Str. 38-50, 10787 Berlin) is public and costs no entrance fee. From 10 a.m. on both days of the event, interested parties have the opportunity to look over the shoulders of Germany's best floral designers during the competition. The award ceremony on the evening of August 17, 2024 will take place as part of the FLEUROP summer festival at the Delphi Filmpalast and can only be attended with a ticket.
