First Unofficial Mirai Forum Bonsai Show

I was thinking we could do an online show on the forums to try and create a place where people can post pictures of their trees like they would in a show and maybe if it gets enough of a following we could ask Ryan to critique it as a potential Super Tuesday stream. So here goes.

Awards as follows: Best in Show, Best Deciduous, Best Conifer, Best Flowering/Fruiting, Best Accent, Best Pot/Tree Combo, Best Tropical, and Ryans choice(if he wants to)

Awards will be rewarded by the number of likes from the community. Any members of the Mirai staff are welcome to participate, including Ryan.

Rules: Participants can post up to a maximum of 3 entries. Please be nice and try to keep things as positive as you would want someone to treat you. End date will be hopefully by the end of October. But if we don’t have enough submissions we can extend until the end of the year.

I look forward to seeing everyone’s trees. I haven’t shown a tree this year in any show and would like to use this as a place to get good feedback for future shows.

is it necessary to display a companion plant or scroll?

Is this what you had in mind Stuart?

please have a companion plant, scroll, or figurine. I should have written that into the rules. 2 point and 3 point displays are welcome as well as shohin 5 point displays, just do whatever you would see at a show
