Class 2. A Tall Bearded iris.
Class 3. Any type of Beardless iris.
Class 4. A seedling iris that you have bred yourself (Bearded or Beardless). Judges

them eligible for BIS trials.

Class 6. Any Species iris or other Iridaceae (e.g. Gladiolus etc.)
We would welcome other iris related photos which can be displayed alongside the
competition, these would not be judged.
To enter:
Exhibitors may submit up to 3 entries per class.
For classes 1 - 5 please send 2 photos per entry, 1 of the whole stem and another of
a close up of a bloom on the stem. That way the judges can do a similar job to that at
one of our normal iris shows.
Give the name of the varieties you are entering unless they are seedlings.
Do not use photoshop.
Photos must have been taken during the 2021 flowering season and not have been
entered in our previous virtual or live shows.
Send your entries to info@britishirissociety.org.uk by the 26th June 2021
Entries will be numbered so that they are anonymous when they are judged.
BIS judges will be asked to make their choices.
Members are encouraged to view entries in the member's area of the website and
may vote for their favourite by e-mailing kentiris@aol.com with name and number of
exhibits.
We would like to use any photos submitted for publicity purposes, e.g. Newsletter,
Yearbook or Facebook. Please let us know if you are not happy with that.
