All of the articles can be found
here. (You may have to refresh your browser if you have visited the index lately, to see them in order) You can now see the authors of each of the articles. Several of the articles are being sent to Wayne at Bonsai Today for consideration of possible publication.
The winner of the "I Voted" prize, Fkokkas, has already been sent the pot donated by Cindy Read. He looks forward to receiving it, as bonsai related items are pretty scarce in Greece!
