Some entrants had to submit their registrations by proxy through Walter Pall because they were unable to register. I am not sure that every nuance of the rules was communicated, but we did try to regulate it in spirit:

Whenever a new entry was submitted (by a bonsaiTALK member or anyone else) we did our best to remove any previous submissions by the same poster. This happened about half a dozen times.

I think the point of the rule was not to flood the gates with multiple submissions by the same artist, which could provide an unfair advantage.

As to the quality of the work. I agree, they were certainly superior to much of what we see here. But there was an incentive and a competition brings out excellence, or so goes the theory.

Thanks to everyone who participated!

Regards,

Matt
