State Flower Decoration Competition - Flora

The State Flower Decoration Competition of Styria takes place annually and impresses with the floral splendor of over 30,000 participants. Throughout Styria, public places, traffic islands, gardens, facades, and balconies are lavishly decorated with flowers to receive one of the coveted awards.

The State Flower Decoration Competition is organized by the Styrian Association of Gardeners and Nurseries as well as the Tourism Department of the State of Styria.

Origins of the Competition

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the death of Archduke Johann, who was particularly committed to the preservation of nature in Styria, the Styrian State Flower Decoration Competition was held for the first time in 1959.

Inspired by his famous example, the competition aims to motivate the design of the unique Styrian natural landscape with flowers, trees, and shrubs, thereby continuing to live up to the title “the Austrian Flower Land”. All Flora winners can be found here: Flower Decoration - Gallery
