Hi Mel....

Everyone just votes in the above poll with the 4 options. Even if you have submitted an entry, you still vote for the 4 best native choices that you like, including your own if you like it.

You can comment on the entries as in talk about them here etc etc, but you actually cast your 4 votes in the poll above.

Mel, I almost did the same, and I was thinking "I can't be the first to post", so double checked... as Rory says, it is above the first post, easily missed... scroll up.

Interesting watching how the voting is progressing... maybe a bit like the federal election this weekend... just of more consequence! lol

OOOooops, Soz Rory, I didn't see the poll at the top. ta

Ha! Very interesting … I’m reading this thread thinking “What are they all talking about?”

The poll does not show on my Tapatalk app … only when I log in via web, do I see the poll!

I’m on it now! And … personal choice …I can only vote for other entries … feels weird voting for oneself ! Luckily the choice is easy for other’s entries anyway.

Thanks again Rory!

Hope you don’t mind non-entrants voting?

On the contrary. The point of this competition is to try and get people to think more about styling their natives like actual trees, so everyone can vote and express their thoughts by way of voting…. And commenting here if you like as well

BUMP

For what it's worth - thank you to Rory for organising this comp and thanks to all the entrants. Some amazing trees are in the running!

I joined this forum too late to join in myself, but I've really enjoyed following the entries, and will definitely be growing more natives in the future as a direct result.
