Nominate your favourite candidate or yourself now for the Klaas Schoone Memorial Award 2015
The Advisory Council, Floricultura and the Schoone family invite you to nominate persons, groups or organisations who have distinguished themselves by raising our orchid profession to a higher level for the “Klaas Schoone Memorial Award” 2015.
This prestigious biennial award, which will now be presented for the second time, includes prize money of 10,000 euros.
In 2013 the first “KSM Award” was presented to the internationally renowned breeder Mr Yung-Yu Lin from Taiwan.
You can nominate candidates until 31 December 2014 via www.ksmaward.com.
The “Klaas Schoone Memorial Award” is open to growers, breeders, propagators, new varieties, technology, cultivation research, marketing concepts and business strategies.
The Advisory Council of the “Klaas Schoone Memorial Award” will appoint a separate group of independent jury members for each of the aforementioned categories.
For more information, go to our website www.ksmaward.com, via which you can also contact the secretariat of the “Klaas Schoone Memorial Award” if so desired.
Our website now also offers you the opportunity to share your knowledge of our profession, in the broadest sense of the word, in nine languages with your colleagues within and outside your own country via our recently launched “Orchipedia”.
We invite you to start using it too!
We look forward to receiving your nomination(s) as soon as possible and thank you in advance for your cooperation.
On behalf of the Advisory Council,
Mr Gerard de Wagt, secretary of the “KSM Award”
