Region 4 Hybridizer Award
The nominating process for this award is controlled by the hybridizer,
much like the AHS Honorable Mention award. Every eligible
hybridizer in Region 4 may enter ONE of his/her registrations. Eligible cultivars must have been hybridized in Region 4, registered with the AHS within the last ten years (including the year in which nominated) and been introduced by a hybridizer still residing, or deceased while residing, in Region 4. (Nomination of a cultivar on behalf of a deceased Region 4 hybridizer may be made by the Awards Committee.) A cultivar may be nominated for up to three consecutive years and then becomes ineligible. A winning cultivar may not be re-entered. **The hybridizer who wins is not eligible to enter this contest again in the next three calendar years. The photos will also be published on the Region 4 website. This will make our members aware of what cultivars they should be looking for as they visit gardens during the upcoming bloom season to help them make their voting decision. Only Region 4 AHS members are eligible to vote and they may vote once for a single cultivar on the ballot. An electronic ballot will be emailed to you when it is time to vote. All votes must be cast by October 1st. Online votes will be counted and the results sent to Regional President. Announcement of the winning cultivar will be made on the Region 4 website. A photograph of both the cultivar and hybridizer will appear in the next issue of Daylilies in the Great Northeast. The award shall be presented at the following Regional summer meeting and shall consist of an engraved plate or plaque containing the name of the cultivar, its registration date and the name of its hybridizer.
