I don't think I have seen listed ALL the Convention Award winners --
here they are, just in case. Also, for the non AIS members (or non
habitual convention goers!) I have put the gouge for the awards and
criteria at the end of this post. (and no, I didn't type any of this
-- all cut and paste)

CONVENTION AWARDS AND HONORS
The American Iris Society's national meeting, popularly known as The
AIS national convention, is held annually in the spring of the year.
Everyone attending the national meeting who has paid the convention's
registration fees is entitled to cast ballots to honor outstanding
irises seen in the convention's official tour gardens. The privilege
is extended to all registrants without regard to status as an AIS
member.
THE FRANKLIN COOK MEMORIAL CUP
The Franklin Cook Memorial Cup is awarded annually during The
American Iris Society's national meeting. All introduced iris seen
growing and in bloom in the official tour gardens of the meeting are
eligible for the Cook Memorial Cup, except irises originated within
the host region for that year's national meeting or originated by a
hybridizer whose garden is included on the official garden tour,
regardless of its location. Irises considered may or may not be
official guest irises.
[For the convention ballots, introduced irises will include all
irises properly registered and offered for sale prior to or in the
April AIS Bulletin of the year of that national meeting.]
Each registrant may vote for only one variety and the Franklin Cook
Memorial Cup is awarded to the iris receiving the greatest number of
votes.
THE PRESIDENT'S CUP
The President's Cup is awarded annually during The American Iris
Society's national meeting. Eligibility is restricted to introduced
irises originated within the host region for that year's national
meeting or originated by a hybridizer whose garden is included on the
meeting's official convention tour, regardless of its location.
Irises must have been seen growing and in bloom in the meeting's
official tour gardens, but need not be official guest irises.
Each registrant may vote for one variety, and The President's Cup is
awarded to the iris with the largest number of votes.
