How it works

  • Seventeen designers from sixteen countries plus Singapore took part in 2026.
  • Six live rounds over three days narrowed the field. Three tasks were known in advance; three came as surprise packages.
  • Five finalists then competed on stage at a finals dinner.
  • The judges, led in 2026 by Alison Bradley, looked at design intent, construction and how well each designer adapted to the brief.

History

Floral Windows to the World has been part of the festival since its first edition in 2006. The live head-to-head format arrived in 2024.
