Ideas for prizes...perhaps a place for 3months or so at the national collection?
Congrats to all the winners and all of the entrants.

thanks to everyone who participated.

I really enjoyed reading all the progressions and learning a lot from all of you here on Ausbonsai (even those who didn't make it to the end).

Looking forward to more progressions as well.

Steven,

any chance there's a new comp in the works for those of us who weren't able to compete the first time for whatever reason?

What a wonderful gesture Steven, although I am at a loss to understand how you could think it unfair of you to claim a prize for that great little tree you have grown, styled and nurtured. It was especially good to see that 27% of my fellow Forum members agreed with me over your tree ;) . Your generosity only goes to prove your understanding of what Bonsai truelly means, it is more than growing little trees in pots. :hooray: :worship: :hooray:
