I am posting the following question for John Timmerman, of the NC Shell
Club.
Thanks,

A potential exhibitor to the shell show I am chairing has asked if an
exhibit for which  previously was awarded the COA and duPont Awards can
qualify again since they are changing/adding to it. An exhibit that has
previously earned the COA Award qualifies again as long as it has been
changed at least 50% by specimens and/or graphics-text content.

My question is does this criteria apply to the duPont Trophy as well.
Over ten years ago when I ran this show the judges followed the
guideline for judging outlined by COA so I conclude this is also is true
for the duPont but want to be sure that it is not governed  by an
alternate rule in this regard.
