This is Africa progressive bonsai competition - Winners!

 THIS IS AFRICA - WINNERS!

This competition was hosted by the now closed SABONSAIFORUM. The forum was closed halfway into the competition and most of the info regarding the competition was lost. Luckily I saved most pics to my computor. I decided to let the competition go on, but a lot of the entries were not updated. The rules and category requirements were also lost. The winners were chosen by two South African and one international judge. No judge sheet was used. Judges only rated the entries on a scale of 10. The following categories were judged:

- Any species used in African style

- African species in any style

- African landscape

- African landscape penjing

- Special award

(Please note that no feedback will be given regarding the winners and the competition. The results may be published everywhere.)

  1. Waw! First time to win a bonsai competition! Thanks Lennard! Lennard, can you post the awards for the different cattegories? You remember the forum was closed and I have no idea...I also need to send the winners if any the trees I donated as prizes, if any one has won them. Thanks a million for all your effort Lennard! You have made a girl in Zambia very happy.
