AKCA Koi of the Year Rules & Regulations Koi of the Year 2010 Showa - owned by Cindy Coombs
Showa - From Quality Koi Farm - Spawned Summer 2008 This Showa is 17.5 inches long. Beautiful luster with great body confirmation and interesting pattern. It is expected that over time the sumi and hi will expand, balancing the white. As it is, it is still a very pretty fish. It was a very tight competition this year with five quality koi in the running. Two Showas, two Kohakus and 1 Sanke Tancho all showed promise. Congratulations to Cindy Coombs whose Showa won....and to Charlie Coombs, whose Kohaku took a very close 2nd. Here are the runners up. Kohaku - From Richard Rombolt - Spawned Summer 2007 This kohaku is 18 inches long and has exquisite body confirmation, luster and pattern. Owned by Charlie Coombs of Lugoff.
Kohaku - from Purdin Koi Farms - Spawned Summer 2007 This 14 inch Kohaku has a very appealing body and head shape with beautiful fins. If the red (hi) were broken up a little more, the pattern would be more of a winner. This koi is owned by Ralph Owens of Sumter.
This 11 inch Sanke Tancho has lots of promise for future competitions or breeding stock. It will never win grand champion but it sure has a perfect tancho. We're hoping that the sumi will increase over the next year or two. Owned by Trish Bender of James Island.
This 12 inch Showa was acquired through our club grow-out contest in 2008. Although the sumi is not fully emerged, there is not enough white along the body to break up the black and red. Owned by Kathy Over of James Island.
