GENERAL RULES OF THE YOUNG GARDEN
DESIGNERS’ COMPETITION
Art. 1 - ORGANIZATION
Le Comité des Floralies (association declared in accordance with the law of 1901)
organizes an International Ornamental, Vegetal and Floral Exhibition under the
name of:
"13th FLORALIES INTERNATIONALES - FRANCE"
The exhibition will take place in the Parc du Domaine de la Chabotterie - Saint-
Sulpice-le-Verdon - 85260 Montréverd, from 17th to 26th May 2024, with the official
inauguration taking place on the afternoon of May 16th, 2024.
« Flower Games » is the unifying theme on which the entire conception of the next
exhibition and the ornamental variation of the concept will be based. An integral
part of all cultures, games are one of the oldest forms of human social interaction.
It captures the ideas and worldviews of a culture and nourishes future generations.
A true source of energy and positive emotions, it values challenge and self-
improvement.
This theme is also a nod to the current events of 2024, the year in which the Paris
Olympic Games will be held. The « Flower Games » theme is divided into 5
categories:
• Water games
• Childhood games
• Intellectual games
• Flower games
• Physical games
Each participant must be consistent with one of the categories specified above.
The Floralies Internationales - France will occupy an area of approximately 30
hectares, indoors and outdoors.
A total area of 2000m² will be reserved for the "Young Designers" competition.
The exhibition will be open to the public from 9.30 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day,
without interruption.

reservation, the provisions of these rules.

spaces, taking into account the consistency of the candidates' project with the
theme of the desired exhibition space. Placement in the competition area will be

is not related to the ornamental, plant, and floral sector and that is of questionable

In order to ensure complete confidentiality during the jury's deliberations, the
names of the candidates on their stands must be obscured.

Art. 14 – TRANSPORTATION
The transport of plants and materials is the responsibility of the participant.
Art. 15 – CUSTOMS
Plants and flowers from other countries will be admitted duty and tax free for the
duration of the exhibition. However, these same duties and taxes will be paid in the
case of sales on the stand, for example. In addition, the products sold must be
authorized by the customs authorities.
All plants destined for the Floralies Internationales - France must be delivered
directly to the site of the event. Le Comité des Floralies and the forwarding agent
shall not be held responsible for any breach of this regulation. At the end of the
exhibition, the products placed under suspension of duties and taxes (temporary
admission) may either be destroyed - in the presence of the customs service - or be
given to horticultural training establishments, also with the agreement of the
customs service, or be re-exported. In the latter case, a re-export declaration will be
made at the end of the exhibition.
A pro forma invoice, a packing note and a phytosanitary certificate are essential for
the entry of the goods into France. Of course, some goods must be accompanied
by other documents, such as the CITES permit. We would like to draw your
attention to the fact that it takes some time to obtain this document from the
Ministry of Ecological Transition - DREAL Pays de la Loire.
The pro forma invoice will be used as a document necessary for the customs
clearance of the goods and the value to be retained, as well as for the calculation of
a depreciation and a possible compensation.
The customs clearance operations will be carried out exclusively by the customs
forwarding agent / carrier approved by Floralies Internationales - France.
In case of doubts or problems, it will be preferable, before the departure of the
products, to inform you about the requirements of the French and E.E.C.
regulations.
Art. 18 – MAINTENANCE
The maintenance of plants and flowers is the responsibility of the candidates.
Cleaning of the stands and restocking must be completed by 8.30 a.m. each day.
Candidates are required to keep their plant lot in a fresh condition until the end of
the exhibition. Bulk packaging and objects not used for the presentation of the
stand must be kept out of sight of visitors.
Important: Le Comité des Floralies will check that the stands are in good order
and will have full powers to reduce or even cancel the prices, or even cancel
all the advantages granted. Its decisions are final.
