The two local groups that I am involved with always do a secret ballot for
the QOS, even if there are two panels of 3 (bigger shows) with all voting or 1
panel of 3. I cannot recall that we have ever had the show committee nor Show
Chair involved in voting. I suppose that a "club award" might be different
but the rules for it should also be in the Show Schedule and the judges decision
is final.
I have been both judge, show chair and show committee and this is my
recollection.
