I am surprised that we haven't heard from Canada, China, or Japan yet, but we still have 6 weeks left before the deadline is reached.

I'm a little confused with the dead lines that you have mentioned. you say that we have 6 weeks left?? it is the 30th of June isn't it?

on a different note

You can expect a new country to enter as well. Namely Sri Lanka!!

There are a few people preparing some trees for the cause!!

Good catch, thank you! The deadline is indeed midnight June 30, 2008, which means we have under two weeks before the contest ends.

I am excited to hear that we will see bonsai from Sri Lanka, this will be inspirational and educational for all!

I think it's weird there are no entries from France. Such a big country, with lots of bonsai clubs...

Maybe they are just not aware of this event?

France, China, Japan, Canada, Germany.....


Could be they are unaware, maybe they are scared? ;)

What really amazes me is that we have more companion entries than any other category and that the display and landscape categories have the least.

There are 195 countires in the world, which mean his contest so far represents 11% of the world, certainly the largest sampling of bonsai ever in a on-line contest and quite possibly in any contest, show, or event ever.

I am quite disappointed that China and Japan are not represented so far.

194 entries to date, with less than 2 days left to enter.

Canada, Switzerland, Sri Lanka, and Chile just joined the countries participating in this contest!

With less than 12 hours left, we have 205 entries posted, I currently have 17 recieved entries I still need to post, making for a total so far of 222 entries, just 2 short of our own record of 224 entries.

It looks like this contest will beat that record, which is also the record for any on-line bonsai contest, anywhere!

What a contest!

The deadline for entering the contest has been reached, no other submissions will be accepted.

I am swamped with submissions that came in before the deadline and I will post these as time permits. Only those that were received before midnight will be posted.


The 25 countries that are participating are:
