THE INTERNET FLOWER SHOW

TO BE JUDGED CHRISTMAS 2005

STARTING IN THE YEAR 2005

*********************


There must be many growers out there who never have the chance to show off their well grown flowers.
Therefore Ken Stock has come up with what I think is novel way of giving you a chance to show them off.

***********************

THE INTERNET FLOWER SHOW


Okay it’s just a bit of fun but one I hope catches on.

**********************

 

Obviously all this is possible with the aid of photographs and the Internet. Those wishing to participate should send photographic entries no late than the end of October, showing no more than the allotted number of blooms in each class.
All photographs will be cropped, and resized to the same dimensions, to show no favouritism.
All we need are good bloom photographs to judge, there is no admission charge. It’s true, the better the photography, the better it is to see the flowers, but it works both ways, faults will show up on good photography, and bad photography will not show up good blooms.
They can be sent on CD's or as prints either will suffice as long as the senders name is attached.
The judges shall be National Dahlia Society judges, who have an interest in computing, and the Internet, and represent all areas of the British Isles.
All will receive a CD with photographs of the exhibits on, and as soon as they’ve decided on their winners, they will notify me by letter, or email. Every photographic exhibit should have the name of the exhibitor, and the name of the variety attached.
In the case of seedlings this is optional, but they should have a number, or something to distinguish them by.
Each entry should be sent in the year that the photograph was taken, as we have no way of verifying this, we rely on your honesty.
The names of the exhibitors will be kept secret, until after the results have been sent in.
Winners will be displayed on this site over the Christmas period.
As for prizes, all first prize winners will receive a small packet of my current years, hand crossed seed, don’t get to excited there won’t be many seeds in the packet, but there might be a world beater.
The best in show, will receive in the following spring, three rooted cuttings of one of my previous years seedlings that had shown promise.
Should the best in show be to far round the world to receive cuttings, a single tubers with eyes will be sent in their place.
If there is a low turn out, obviously the show will be terminated. I hope a few of you will enter, and even if you show in the more conventional way, I hope you’re not too proud to join us in, what is just a bit of fun.
