The organizing committee will hold an awards ceremony on the afternoon of the 17th, awarding the 'K-Orchid Grand Prize' to the overall top 1st to 3rd place winners, the K-Orchid category awards to the top 1st to 3rd place winners by breed, and the K-Orchid Jury Chairman's Award to the top 1st to 3rd place winners among Seokbujak, Mokbujak, and Bunkyeong works respectively.

Meanwhile, this event is sponsored by Wanju-gun along with K·O·C (Korea Orchid Conference) and W·O·C (Wanju-gun Orchid Conference), and entry to the exhibition hall will be restricted if attendees wear inappropriate clothing such as hiking wear.
