AROID AWARDS – CELEBRATING THE BEST IN AROIDS

Trophies, bragging rights, and a permanent place in IAS history!


Each year, IAS members showcase their most remarkable aroids in our celebrated Aroid Awards. From Best in Show to Most Unusual and People’s Choice, these awards spotlight the diversity, beauty, and creativity of our community. Winners don’t just take home trophies—they earn a lasting legacy with their plants forever memorialized on the IAS website.


Whether you’re admiring the contenders at the Expo, casting your vote for the People’s Choice, or entering your own prized plant (members only), the Aroid Awards are a chance to celebrate excellence and share our collective passion for aroids.
