 Since 1993, the Clarence G. White memorial medal has been awarded to the best arilbred iris with 1/2 or more aril ancestry. (Before 1993, it was the C. G. White award, equivalent to an Award of Merit. Arilbreds must now earn an Award of Merit before they can qualify for the C. G. White medal.) The medal honors C. G. White, who in the 1950s created the family of fertile arilbreds that still dominates arilbred breeding today.  2021 'Rare Breed' (Richard Tasco) 'Dragon's Eye' (Tasco) 'Shaman's Magic' (Tasco) 2020 No awards given 2019 'Dubai' (Thomas Johnson) 2018 'Byzantine Ruby' (Lowell Baumunk) 2017 'Sand Dancer' (Richard Tasco 2010) 2016 'XERXES' (Lowell Baumunk 2010) 2015 'AZTEC PRINCE' (Richard Tasco 2009) 2014 'Kalifa's Joy' (Annand) 2013 'Refiner's Fire' (McGrath) 2012 'Noble Warrior' (Tasco) 2011 'Hammurabi' (Baumunk) 2010 'Rivers of Babylon' (Baumunk) 2009 'Spirit of Caleb' (McGrath) 2008 'Byzantine Art' (Baumunk) 2007 'Omar's Eye' (Boswell) 2006 'Omar's Stitchery' (Boswell) 2005 'Concerto Grosso' (Mathes) 2004 'Chocolate Mint' (Tasco) 2003 'Energizer' (Shockey) 2002 'Lancer' (Shockey) 2001 'Desert Fury' (Shockey) 2000 'Sheba's Jewel' (Shockey) 1999 'Queen Sheba' (Shockey) 1998 'Kalifa's Robe' (Hager) 1997 'Turkish Pendant' (Shockey) 1996 'Syrian Princess' (Shockey) 1995 'Persian Padishah' (Shockey) 1994 'Khyber Pass' (Kidd) 1993 'Syrian Jewel' (Shockey) Prior to 1993 it was called the C.
