Designers To Compete For Top Honors At Sylvia Cup In Palm Springs

The clock is ticking. The pressure is on. The competition for top honors is stiff. And the pay-off? Cheers, accolades, the admiration of your peers — not to mention a cool $3,000 cash prize along with a complimentary registration to the next SAF convention.

That’s what’s at stake next month during the 50th Annual Sylvia Cup Design Competition at SAF Palm Springs 2018, Sept. 12-15 at the Westin Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage, California. The two-hour live floral design contest has become the stuff of legends among designers — and there’s still time to throw your hat in the ring. The Sylvia Cup entry deadline is Aug. 8.

“My favorite part of the Sylvia Cup is the energy in the room,” said Jenny Behlings, AAF, AIFD, CFD, PFCI, SDCF, of Jenny’s Floral in Custer, South Dakota and one of the contest’s coordinators. “The creative juices are running, and flowers are flying!”
