Our International
Judging Panels.
I.J.P.

Our International Judging Panel began life as a by-product of an idea to add interest to the show. In 2002 we decided to copy a feature of the ZNA's All Japan Show wherein they highlight a different variety (not show class) each year for special attention. We gave this a trial run in 2002 with the invention of a special Doitsu award to test the logistics and Benching Admin processes and found that it could be acheived.

Around about the same time we were coming to the attention of overseas Koi Judges that were attending our show, and who had expressed an interest in participating. In common with their tradition (ZNA mostly) they were bringing an increasing number of 'Friendship'trophies with them. To accomodate their curiousity and generousity we invented the IJP and gave them the task of adjudicating all of the non-standard BKKS awards. In an effort to encourage more international contact we always invite a BKKS judge to become one of the panel.

Our panels to date are listed below. After their name, we indicate their country of origin and then their Judging credentials, eg AKCA, SAKKS, ZNA.
