Hello All,
The judging panel (myself, irene_b and Treebeard) having looked through the submissions over the last week or so, hereby award the category winners as listed below......
Entry #21 - Most Realistic -
Grampz
"
Mesquite in Spring"
Entry #20 - Most Creative - Joanie
"Brazilian Pepper Tree"
Entry #15 - Most Humorous - nsmar4211
"Pipeus after Demo"
Entry #23 - Best Theme - greenbrake
"Informal Upright in Winter"
A special "commendation" was also requested by the judges with regards to the Tokonoma display used in entry #2. This was thought to be very well executed, but without a more detailed photograph of the tree itself, it was hard to decide how it was constructed, and hence unfair to include this under the exact specification criteria of materials.
Entry #2 - Commendation - bonsaial1
"Semi Cascade Style"
The judges all thought the standards far exceeded their expectations and would like to express their appreciation to all who entered and indeed, Matt, for coming up with such an original and thought provoking competition.
I, like all of us I guess, are just itching to put the names to each entry.
Best Regards,
Ian.
