Organizer of the Competition is the Polish Nurserymen Association and Agencja Promocji Zieleni Sp. z o.o.
The subject of the Competition are trees, shrubs, climbers, small shrubs and perennials from climactic zones USDA 1-7b.
To participate in the Competition, we invite companies participating in the GREEN IS LIFE & FLOWER EXPO POLAND ONLINE promotional platform and producers, breeders, creators of new varieties that do not participate in it, who would like to disseminate their plants and offer them to a wide audience.
The aim of the competition is to promote companies and the plant novelties they submit, which should be "new", ie just introduced into production, cultivated in Poland for no more than 5 years, or returning to the market after a very long break, and cannot be plants attending at previous editions of the Plant Novelties Competition. Due to the online nature of the competition, the basis for the international jury's decision will be comprehensive information on reported taxa and photographic documentation. These materials will also form the basis for further promotion (details in the REGULATIONS).
Participation in the competition is related to a wide promotion of the novelties themselves and the companies submitting it.
