Hey all,
I have posted the links for my final Shohin entries, last of which was posted yesterday evening. It was a fun process but the treesa have a lot of years of training left in them yet. Good luck with getting all your trees ready for submission :tu:

There is less than 1 week to go in the AusBonsai Shohin Progressive Styling Competition and 60 entries still remain.
I'm really looking forward to seeing the updates and final pictures come in :tu:

With only 3 days left to get your final submission in, I'd thought it would be good to post a reminder about the rules. There have been a couple of final submissions that do not meet the criteria and if updates are not posted, they will not be eligible for the competition.
• You must make a minimum 3 monthly progression update including photos, an overview of work completed and experiences. Monthly updates would be preferable.
• Work can be done between 1st September 2011 and 31st October 2012. Final submissions and photographs must be submitted no later than Midnight EDST on 1st November 2012.
• Entrants are encouraged to display the final tree in Bonsai pot but this should not be done to the detriment of the tree.
• The final pictures must include at least one paragraph of text describing the final outcome and what is planned for the future of the tree.
• Final submissions must contain at least two photographs, one with a plain background and one with a ruler to verify the finished size of the tree is under 250mm tall. You may submit as many photographs as you like from as many angles as you like.
Regards,
Steven
