Wirz-Rettig Award

 

The Wirz-Rettig Japanese Iris Award is available to all Region 2 affiliates holding an AIS sanctioned flower show including Japanese Iris. WNYIS will continue to fund the award for 10 years. At the end of the 10 years, the AIS Region 2 Board of Directors will decide if the award is to continue.
The award, as currently given, is a glass vase plus a framed certificate. It is awarded to the highest placed Japanese iris in an accredited iris show, being either a Section Award winner or Best of Show.
