• The award is presented for the best digital image, photo or slide of a cultivar clump showing the foliage, the scapes, and the flowers to give a total picture. A clump is defined as having a minimum of three divisions and three blooms.
• Subject daylilies shall have been registered during the past seven years. Flower color and form must be true to cultivar. Growth habit of the plant shall be typical for the particular cultivar.
• From a technical viewpoint, all digital images or slides must be in focus and must not give evidence of computer manipulation or unnatural or contrived devices such as excessive filtering, or physical props. Where an established clump is growing in close proximity to other cultivars in a bed, a background screen will be permitted. However, it should be designed so as to look as natural as possible.
• Original digital image, photo or slides are preferred, but good copies will be accepted. Each digital image or slide will be submitted with the name of the daylily, its hybridizer, and date of registration.
