I think we should make a distinction between all exhibitions and those which are judged. I’ve never entered a tree in a judged show because I haven’t had any that were good enough to do that, and because I have always been too far away for that to happen. I don’t know, but some in this thread may be assuming that to show means to enter a competition. I don’t really care either way about competition, but I am always looking for an opportunity to show my better trees as a way to promote bonsai and to educate people as to what bonsai is.
