American Orchid Society’s judging system is one of the most highly respected horticultural award systems in the world. At nationwide monthly judging and worldwide sanctioned shows, highly trained AOS judges evaluate and recognize new and superior forms of orchid species, improved forms of orchid hybrids and plants exhibiting superior culture.

MOS members that are interested in having a plant considered for an American Orchid Society Award should bring their plant to the regularly scheduled monthly meetings or to the Supplemental Judging Meetings.  

MOS is fortunate to have certified AOS judges as members.  These judges are dedicated volunteers with a sincere, long-term commitment of their personal time to share their passion of orchids.  AOS  judges are not compensated for their services or travel to various judging events.

Our judging training meetings take place at 6:00 pm the first Tuesday of each month via ZOOM. Once a quarter we meet in person at the Haliimaile Community Center. 

​

Plant judging occurs at our regular membership meetings held the 3rd Tuesday of each month.
