District 2 Show Rules
Any member in good standing of any society in District 2 may exhibit with proof of membership. Only one person per family may exhibit in any class, with the exception of the Design classes. If you belong to more than one Society, you must decide which Society you will represent and mark your tags accordingly. Entry tags will be available at the Show. More than one horticultural entry per class per person is permitted, provided that the entries are of different cultivars.
For the Horticultural Division, all entries MUST have been grown by the exhibitor. Exhibitors are to provide their own clear, uncoloured, glass containers for cut specimens and plain white paper or styrofoam plates for edibles, unless otherwise stated. Potted entries should be shown in the containers in which they are growing with a saucer underneath (i.e. no cache pots). For trailing plants, a clean, upturned pot may be used under the exhibit to raise it up. Education is one of the aims of this show, therefore kind, cultivar and botanical names should be written on entry tags, if known. In the event of a tie, the named entry will win. For the purposes of this show:
Kind - refers to different types of plants, e.g. pepper, corn, tomato. It does not apply to cultivar or variety.
Cultivar - refers to different cultivated forms (or varieties) of the same species, e.g. Petunia ‘Happiness’, Petunia ‘Calypso’, and Petunia ‘Satin Lace’ are three cultivars.
Annual – A plant that completes its life cycle from seed to seed within one growing year.
Perennial – refers to a plant that lives for more than two years, eg. Peony, Cone Flower, etc.
For the Design Division, plant material may be obtained from any source unless stated otherwise, as it is the artistic ability of the exhibitor that is being judged. Accessories, decorative wood, dried and/or treated material are permitted in all designs unless otherwise specified. Please, no cut fruit. To assist in staging, it would be appreciated if exhibitors would pre-register with the Show committee by September 1st. Entries for each of the decorative classes will be limited to six. Please register with: Kathleen Lang, 73 Ogilvie Lane, RR2, Jasper, ON K0G 1G0 tel: 613 283-5982 email: kathray@ripnet.com by September 1, 2011.
Due care will be taken with the exhibitor’s property, but the District will not be responsible for any loss or damage.
Judging will follow the Ontario Judging and Exhibiting Standards (OJES) for Horticulture and Floral Design (Reprint/2007). Please use it as a reference when preparing your exhibits. The decision of the judge is final. No exhibit will be awarded a prize unless the judge considers it to have sufficient merit, even if it is the only entry in the class.
Prizes
- Prize ribbons and cash awards will be given for first second and third place in each class if merited. Additional ribbons may be given at the Judge’s discretion if there are more than ten entries in a class and the Show chair has decided not to split the class. Prize ribbons and cash awards will be given for first, second and third place in the Junior classes.
- The exhibitor selected in a Best in Show class will receive a rosette plus a monetary prize.
- The exhibitor with the highest point aggregate in Horticultural Division Section will receive a monetary prize. Points towards aggregate scores will be awarded as five for first, three for second and one for third place in any class and five points for a best in show. Aggregate prizes will be awarded only to an exhibitor who has obtained eleven points or more with at least three entries in the Section. In the event of a tie, the exhibitor scoring the most first-place awards will be judged the winner.
- The exhibitor with the highest point aggregate overall in each of the Horticulture, Houseplant, and Design Divisions will receive a special monetary prize.
