To recognize and reward individuals, groups, and Affiliated Societies for outstanding work in the field of orchid conservation, the AOS sponsors an annual Conservation Recognition Award. The Conservation Committee can award up to two first prizes annually of US$500 each. At least one of the prizes is designated to recognize efforts benefiting the conservation of orchid species native to Canada, the United States, or Mexico. One of the prizes needs to have no geographical limitations. An additional two runner-up awards of US$250 each may be given if judged appropriate. A previously awarded project is not excluded from consideration. Self-nominations are not accepted. Winners and their projects will be featured in Orchids magazine.
