West & Midlands Iris Group Virtual Show 2022 -Rules
1. Send your images, indicating which class you are entering to info@westandmidlandsirisgroup.org.uk
2. There are six classes:
• Class 1. Bearded iris
• Class 2. Beardless iris
• Class 3. Other Iridaceae
• Class 4. Species iris
• Class 5. Iridaceae in a garden setting
• Class 6. An abstract/creative photo of an iris or Iridaceae. e.g. Just the beard.
We are limiting the number of entries to three in each class.
3. They will be numbered, so it is anonymous and will be added to our website -
www.westandmidlandsirisgroup.org.uk
4. Irises can be photographed from now on with a cut-off date of the 14th August 2022. Please send
your images between 1st August and the 14th August. The image should encompass the whole of the
flower spike and to be fairer to all, we would prefer that you didn't use photoshop, but cropping of the
entry is allowed. It would also be helpful to have the name of the iris, that is if you know it!
5. After this date, we will be asking members to vote for their favourite in each class. Votes will be
counted and a certificate will be awarded for each class and we will feature the winning entries in our
Newsletter. We would also like to use any photos which are submitted for publicity purposes, eg
Newsletters or for Facebook, so please say if you are not happy with that.
6. In the event of any tie, Ian our Show Secretary will have the casting vote!
Finally – Good Luck!
