During the IFTF Boerma Instituut organises the competition 'Forever yours'

This year Boerma Instituut organises for the second time, in co-operation with the industry exhibition 'IFTF', a challenging competition, to be held at the exhibition in the Expo Haarlemmermeer.

The competition will take place on Wednesday 2nd November, 2011, This year's theme is 'Forever yours'. Of course 'live' material, blooms and greenery must have the starring role, but can of course be combined with interesting accessories of all sorts... in other words ... 'rise to the challenge, and show your creativity'.

The firm Smithers-Oasis will provide a swinging heart (Oasis® Bioline® Mini Swing Heart) per person, the heart form as such of must remain part of your composition. It is compulsory to use the heart!

There are only 20 entries available, so register your participation as soon as possible!

Three prizes are available to win: the first prize is our 5 day "Bridal work Course" with a value of 1000 euros, or another of the Boerma Instituut's
courses of a similar value. The second and third prizes are a " Surprise". Of course, every participant will receive a Boerma Certificate of Participation. Further information follows regarding the results & prize awards.

This year there will also be a "Public's Award", voted by the general public. All visitors to our stand can collect a voting form to award points.

There will also be an exhibition of all the heart arrangement entries, so that all visitors to the Expo can enjoy your creations! The competition is open to every one to take part, you don't have to be an ex student of the Boerma Instituut!

The competition arrangements can be viewed during the IFTF exhibition from 2nd to 4th of November in the Expo Haarlemmermeer.

entry, we of course expect to see you with your composition, this way we avoid disappointment to others
who might want to enter, and there will be no "empty places" on display.

Enjoy the challenge, and create something beautiful!

IFTF Expo ready to expand!

Vijfhuizen, May 2, 2011. Exactly six months before the opening of the second edition of the International Floriculture Trade Exhibition (IFTF), which will be held in Expo Haarlemmermeer, the 3 current available halls are fully booked. Not counting the 7 small stands still being available, the organisers are ready to expand, according to Dick van Raamsdonk, Managing Director of HPP Exhibitions in Amsterdam.

With this "Full House", the expectations of the organisers have come true to a full extent, who predicted last year November that by the end of April of this year a fourth hall (Phase 2) would be necesary to accomodate the increased demand for space. Last week the final ok was given for an extension of a so called temporarily hard wall climate controlled tent (Hall D) through a license issued by the local authorities.
