Rarely do cattleya leaves grow upright unless the sun is directly above. They will orient themselves towards maximum light. The best way is let the new leads grow. Once close to mature you can stake them upright for nice presentation, allowing room for blooms to present well.
Definitely bring your plant to judging. The petal ARE fuller and more upright than most mossiaes. The straight dorsal sepal is a big bonus too. The markings on the lip is strong and clear. Might score high HCC or low AM. If not it may get best cattleya of show nonetheless ... Good luck!
