Show
Rules
1.
The show is held in cooperation with the American Camellia Society (ACS).
The rules and regulations concerning procedures and judging of ACS shows will
apply. The decision of the judges will be final.
2.
The show is open to any camellia grower. Exhibitors may place their own
blooms. There will be no scoring distinction between treated and non-treated
blooms. Exhibitors need not be a member of a camellia society.
3.
The authority for bloom classification will be the current edition of Camellia
Nomenclature, Camellia Nomenclature
Supplement, and recent ACS Journals
(for cultivars not yet included in Camellia Nomenclature).
However, so-called C. vernalis entries shall be included with
non-reticulata hybrids due to doubts explained in Camellia Nomenclature
(see pg 161 of 2002 edition). Cultivars with multiple names will be
entered under the preferred name in the Camellia Nomenclature.
4.
ACS entry cards for classifying blooms will be available at the show.
Use white cards for unprotected blooms, green cards for protected blooms.
5.
When a camellia cultivar is listed in two sizes (e.g., “small to
medium”) it will be judged in the smaller size category, except all miniature
bloom entries must in fact be 2 ˝ inches in diameter or less.
6.
Mississippi Gulf Coast grown (Division C) entries are limited to
“novices” (growers with under three camellia show awards). Bloom entries
should be submitted with buff colored entry cards and marked “MS
Gulf Coast” across the top of the card.
7.
Each entry will be eligible for only one award, except for the “Plant
of the Year” award.
8.
Only judges and authorized persons will be permitted in the exhibition
area during judging of blooms. Judges may refuse to award a ribbon to a given
variety or class if they deem the entries to be below show quality.
9.
All blooms become the property of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Camellia
Society and will be disposed by the show committee.
10. Entries will be received from 7.30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. No entries for competition will be accepted after 10:30 a.m. Judging will begin at 12:00 noon. The show will open to the public at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday
