No entry is required for eligibility. I. Grand Champion - Best Orchid in the Show -[$200.] Orchid flower (s) or orchid plant (in flower) chosen by balloting of the American Orchid Society’s judges. Judges will be asked to select their first and second choices. Each First Choice will be scored with five points & the Second Choice three (3) points. The selection scoring the highest number of points will be designated “Grand Champion.” II. American Orchid Society’s Show Trophy The AMERICAN ORCHID SOCIETY SHOW TROPHY for the most outstanding exhibit may be awarded at the discretion of the A.O.S judges. Must score 80 points or more. The A.O.S. scale of points for judging exhibitions will be followed with emphasis on artistic effect and general consideration of the Show Theme: General Arrangement 35 pts. Quality of Plants/Flowers 35 pts. Variety 20 pts. Labeling 10 pts. The following ten Special Awards (III-XII) will be selected from the respective winning entries in Sections 3 & 4; those Show Award winners in the two Sections will therefore be competing against each other for these ten Best in Show or Special Awards. III. Best in Cattleya Alliance [$50.] IV. Best of Phalaenopsis Group [$50.] V. Best in Vandaceous Alliance (excluding Phalaenopsis) [$50.] VI. Best in Cypripedioideae [$50.] VII.

Best Specimen Plant – Species [$100.] Judging teams will be invited to submit nominations for the best specimen during the course of their assigned judging activity; all plants in competition are eligible. The winner, selected from those nominees, will be determined by AOS judges in a “show-of-hands” vote at the conclusion of show judging. Also applies to Special Award XII. XII. Best Specimen Plant – Hybrid [$100.] 1 Section 2 – The Exhibits Classes 1-4 1. Open Class Exhibit --------------100 square feet 1st Place $100.00; 2nd $75.00. [Individuals or commercial growers may enter this CLASS, though traditionally, individuals choose to enter CLASS 2 for “Hobbyists.” ] 2. Hobbyist Exhibit -----------------25-30 square feet 1st Place $100.00; 2nd $75.00. [Exhibits in this display shall include plants from a single amateur/hobbyist grower. Plants must be entered to be considered for ribbon judging] 3. Society Exhibit ------------------100 sq. ft. (10’ x 10’) 1st Place $100.00; 2nd $75.00. [Exhibit may include plants from many of the named society’s membership; however, plants to be considered for ribbon judging must be individually entered. NOTE: Tabletop exhibits may ONLY be staged on the tabletops provided as placed by the Show Committee. No parts of the exhibit may be incorporated in adjacent background material, i.e. backdrop cloth or supporting structure, nor may any exhibit plants be placed on the floor in front of or at any margin of the designated tables.] 4. Educational Exhibit -------------100 square feet 1st Place $100.00; 2nd $75.00. [Judges shall carefully consider the “educational” component and its message as represented by the display staged; an educational exhibit may be staged without special individual orchids but its presenter may also choose to display plants that can be entered for ribbon judging. An educational display that does not present a message to show viewers/visitors may be disqualified by the Show Committee.] Section 3 – The Individual Plants in Flower Open (Classes > 5-120) Note: To determine correct class for a plant’s entry, start reading down the list of CLASSES beginning of the listings and then enter the plant in the first CLASS in which the species or hybrid is eligible; read the Class description carefully and be especially careful with new nomenclature, i.e. different from that to which we have been accustomed. [In many instances, the CLASSES had to be redefined to conform with the latest changes implemented in orchid nomenclature & classification.] Laeliinae – (Classes > 5-40) Brassavola (excluding Rhyncholaelia) 5.

Consider Myrmecolaelia and Myrmecocattleya among the hybrids.) Cattleya [With so many name changes having been made in the generic components of what we typically consider to be “cattleyas” …the Committee chooses not to itemize all of the acceptable names for the multi-generic combinations eligible here; most importantly however, Cattleya must be one of the parental components in the plant being entered! Please consult one of the electronic databases currently in use to verify that the generic nomenclature used for a particular entry is valid. And remember that Blc., Lc., Slc., Sl., Sc. and Pot., for example, are no longer accepted names.] Large Flowers – (i.e. Natural Spread = 5” or larger.)
