Awards:
In addition to the individual evaluations for the respective titles, the animals are judged as competitors against each other at exhibitions. The following awards can be achieved if enough animals compete with each other.
Best in Color / Best in Variety / Best in Breed / Breed Winner:
Requirement: depending on the club, at least three or five cats must compete against each other within a breed or color of a breed.
In the case of well-represented cat breeds, one animal is awarded a prize for each different color. In rare breeds the colors are combined and there is only one winner.
In general, each judge nominates one cat per breed or color. The nominated animals are generally presented to the assembled judges, who decide on an animal by vote.
Best in Show:
Here cats of all breeds are evaluated together. The long-hair, semi-long-hair and short-hair classes are evaluated separately according to age groups, gender and potency.
Best of Best:
A Best of Best is chosen from the Best in Show winners in each class. This cat is the best animal at the exhibition in the class.
Best over all:
The Best over All (the best animal at this exhibition and on this day) is chosen from the cats of all breeds with the Best of Best rating.
Depending on the club, the conditions and implementation of the awards vary. Both the number of animals required in a ranking and the number of categories vary. Maine Coon and Norwegian Forest cats are often separated from the semi-longhair cats.
Siamese/OKH and relatives are also managed as a separate class by various clubs (divided into light and heavy types of short-haired cats) as long as they are represented in sufficient numbers.
Each award is accompanied by a certificate or note in the judge's report as well as a trophy, the size of which increases with the value of the award.
At special shows there is generally a separate Best in Show for the relevant breeds.
Each judge can nominate one animal for each category from the animals they have evaluated. He can also nominate an animal for several titles at the same time, e.g. for “Best Variety” and “Best in Show”. The animals nominated for a title are then simultaneously presented to all judges who are approved to judge the relevant breed or breed group for the purpose of making a decision. If only one animal is proposed, the other judges must confirm the proposal.
