WORLD
BONSAI PHOTO CONTEST
In
2008 you were notified of the WBFF International Photo Contest, albeit at a
rather late date to expect to receive large numbers of entries from the
UK. I was asked to retrieve, rather belatedly, a situation which had been
outside the control of FOBBS and to take on the task of obtaining entries from
the European Region. I should have had 12 months in which to do this task and
in the event I had just two. Despite this, and with your co-operation, I did
succeed in getting 25 entries for this competition; 10 of those entries came
from the UK. In 2009 the competition was judged and 20 of the European photos
were displayed at the World Convention held that year in Puerto Rico.
Subsequently the new WBFF President, Mr Hu from China, offered to publish a
book containing all those judged to be “winning trees”, some 170 trees in all.
This book was produced by November of last year and free copies were available
for all those whose trees appeared among the pages.
These books were available for us to collect while at the
ASPAC Convention in Takamatsu, Japan last November, and extremely heavy they
were to bring home (in our case 20 copies for the UK & Europe).
I am attaching the Poster, Requirements for entry, and
the Entry Form itself. I hope you will print these out and consider
entering one of your trees. As proven by ‘Best of British’ and other shows
staged in the UK, we have some amazing trees, and so, with plenty of time to
get our acts together, lets show the rest of the World Bonsai public what we
are capable of.
