No - You don't pay - the record goes in the trash. The slide too (all
36- or so copies); the slides eat about 1/2 the cost of the award
registration. You and your plants are banned from AOS judging.

thinking it seems.


what tennis said. i never knew you had to pay for these silly things
until coming on here and reading y'all's posts. that's just ridiculous
(IMHO

however, if you decide not to pay for the award or the slides or
whatever, has your plant still won? is it still on record somewhere as
having won? (you can tell from the question i know nothing about this
process.
