Judges are required to vote the Awards Ballot but are not required 
to vote the Symposium.  

There used to be a Judges' Choice ballot along with the 
Symposium ballot.  I remember voting both when I first became a 
judge.   An iris had to be in commerce two years to be voted a JC 
award (the same eligibility as for the Awards Ballot with bearded 
irises).   The JC was phased out shortly after I became a judge.  I 
think it was considered useless duplication. If you vote an Awards 
ballot, that is a judge expressing a choice, so why do the same 
thing twice.?  The judges, through the Awards Ballot, are in effect 
selecting what goes on the Symposium Ballot, so the  preselection 
by judges idea is already in operation.
