AHS Standard System of Awards Judging of each cultivar in each class shall be done by following the American Hemerocallis Society Standard System of Awards: One First (Blue) scores 90 or above. One Second (Red) scores 85 or above. One Third (Yellow) scores 80 or above. For registered cultivars, only one blue, one red, and one yellow may be awarded in a given name class.

The AHS Section Rosettes are awarded to the most outstanding purple ribbon winning entry in Sections 1 through 10 of Division I.
