I have no clue!
Can you choose if you enter for flower quality award like AM; or overall growing award like CCM?

I know that the French Orchid Society takes a lot of things into account for awards.
Leaves/PB size, quality and health represent 25 points out of 100.
Flower quality (shape, texture, color, number, size) is 50% of the mark, and overall presentation is the remaining 25%.

Correct!

However, a lot of people like to polish the leaves if the plant is entered into a show or just for overall presentation purposes.

Polishing the leaves could also help with a cultural award.

I am happy to announce this plant is now known as Fredclarkeara Desert Davison 'Osiris' AM/AOS 87 points! Awarded last night in Denver. Woohoo!

Congratulations!! That's fantastic, and the plant sure deserved it!

Congratulations!

Thank you Camille and Dry Season!!

Astounding! Now you have to write a guide to growing awarded Ctsm!

Wow, 87 points!! That's a high AM and within reach of an FCC!! Get that to specimen size and you might be able to another 3 points on a subsequent blooming!

So pleased - I had this awful foreboding feeling that I had doomed it by asking how you transport these plants! So glad it didn't suffer any mishaps.

:bowing

Not at all, but I did make a video today showing how I transported it! My Green Pets go to AOS Judging ? 10 January 2021 - YouTube

Very stoked indeed! Thank you sir!

Well...I would say the key is buying plants from a highly awarded breeder *ahem Fred Clarke* !!
