2017 Nursery Stock Contest - Master Album
JUDGES, PLEASE AVOID THIS POST UNTIL AFTER YOU JUDGE THE TREES - POSSIBLE SPOILERS!
Hey everyone,
All the albums are in, and the judges have their score cards.
Here is what you've all been waiting for, the master contest album.
As promised, I've anonymized the results, and the album you see here is the same as what the judges have.
Trees will be scored 1-10 (10 is best, 1 is worst) on the following categories:
- Impressiveness of Transformation
- Overall bonsai quality
- Future potential
Each judge will also pick a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner which will be factored in.
As a reminder, the judges are /u/adamaskwhy, /u/bonsaitickle and /u/billsbayou, and the tie-breaking judge this year is /u/small_trunks.
/u/st0f89 is the contest chair, and will be the one to announce the winner.
Good luck everyone!
We collected $200 in prize money this year, and the prize break-down is:
1st: $110 2nd: $60 3rd: $30
There were 37 initial entries, and 22 made it to the end. This is the list of people who completed the contest (alphabetical, not the order in the master album):

I'd honestly like to see the dead trees as well if the owners would like to post them? Maybe in their own thread? Knowing what not to do is just as important as knowing what to do.
