54th Annual Sylvia Cup Design Competition
The Longest-Running, Live, National Floral Industry Design Competition
What is the Sylvia Cup Design Competition?
The nation’s best floral designers are given the exact same flowers, foliage, and design supplies — and just two hours to complete a design challenge based on a surprise theme.
During the last hour, the competition’s commentators, and coordinators — decked out in themed costumes — talk about the featured products and challenge.
If you aren’t competing, all attendees of SAF Phoenix 2023 are invited to watch the competition and be exposed to:
- The hottest emerging design styles — before your customers start asking about it
- An exciting live demonstration of how to create spectacular floral pieces in minimal time
- The U.S. floral industry’s longest-running national live design competition
