The award giving ceremony, organised by the European association for flowers and environment (whose acronym is AEFP in the French) was held on Friday evening in Bad Saeckingen, Germany, under the auspices of the European Union.
The Entente Florale competition judges European cities and towns against strict criteria in relation to their floral displays, environmental management and management of parks and green spaces. The competition also takes into account initiatives that directly impact on environmental sustainability, regeneration, education and training, and neighbourhood renewal.
Entente Florale has been running for more than 25 years.
This year's competition covered over 5,800 entrants from 12 European countries.
