This Gold Medal was established in 1964 to commemorate the late Prof Eric Holttum’s contribution to orchid growing in the Southeast Asian region. The objective of the medal is to encourage and foster local hybridization programmes. It is given only to orchid breeders who are resident in Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei. The medal is engraved with a protrait of Prof R E Holttum. To be considered for the Gold Medal, an exhibitor shall have exhibited a local hybrid or a species in an OSSEA show or display. The plant should have been awarded a First Class Certificate (FCC) or an Award of Merit (AM) by OSSEA. Here, the definition of a local hybrid or species is a plant that has been raised from seed originated in Singapore, Malaysia or Brunei.
