The winner. Patrick Giacobbe’s Bonsai Design. Graphite on Bristol board.
A closely bunched field (with one exception)
First place was no contest; Patrick won going away with 73 points. After that, things got much tighter. Second place (see below) received 34 points, and third was a two way tie with 27 points each.
How the judges voted
Altogether thirty one people decided to judge. Each judge assigned nine points. This means there were 279 total points assigned. If you do the math you’ll see that those who didn’t finish in the money received 118 points. Put another way, everyone was a winner; most entries received at least one first place vote and every entry received at least one second place vote.
Prizes
First place receives a $60 gift certificate to Stone Lantern. Second place receives a $30 gift cert, and each of the two third places receive $10 gift certs. If you are one of the winners contact me for details: wayne@stonelantern.com.

Thanks Ken and congrats to you too!
Congratulations to the winners and all who submitted. The entries were great. How about a high-resolution image of the winning entry so that we can use it as a desktop background?
That’s a good idea, but we don’t own that image. You’d have to ask Patrick.
Que buen ejemplo de como alambrar y dar movimiento a un arbol.
Si. Otra vez, concuerdo 100%.
Pat, congratulations! Love it. Nice work as always!
