select a Gold, Silver, and Bronze award in each
category. Additionally, a ‘Best of Show’ award will be
selected from among the Gold award winners in each
category. The decision of the judges will be final.
There will be no appeal of the judges’ decision and no
correspondence regarding the details of the judging.
