The Show is one of the highlights of each convention and members whose exhibits win blue ribbons are honored with various special cash awards. These awards are sponsored by other members, usually in honor of or in memory of other members of The Gesneriad Society.

You can be part of each Convention Flower Show, whether you attend a convention or not, by sponsoring a Convention Flower Show Award. When sponsoring an award, you will have the opportunity to indicate the individual in whose honor, or in whose memory, you are making the award. The Awards Chairperson will determine how your sponsored award will be distributed, based on the number of sponsored awards and the number of winning entries at the Show.
