A review of recent AOS Awards is presented by Students and Associate Judging in the NEJC on a rotating basis at our monthly judgings. Please see the presentation titled 'AOS Monthly Images - AOS Awards' below in our NEJC Education Resources Section for the format to follow. Our center Education Coordinator assigns presenters each month

Posting Award and SITF forms at monthly judgings

Fillable Award and SITF forms are posted to a shared folder for awarded plants at our monthly judgings. The folder is accessed by our Judging Center Chair following the judging for further processing through the AOS JC Awards tool.

Please upload your forms to the folder name that corresponds to the correct center location and date for plants you are responsible to process before you leave a monthly judging. Please check with the Judging Center Chair before leaving any judging event to be sure all paperwork is complete and has been received.
