This is good to hear - I thought that someone had written something
specifically re 'Flight of Butterflies' and this was a short thread
about it but I didn't save any of the posts. Only one person sug-
gested that it was not eligible to receive awards at AIS shows but
it may have said AIS awards - like a HM, AM, etc.
I do not have the Judges' Manual (one of back-ordered items), but
the answers should be in there.
