This strangely dressed but somehow still noble gentleman will put his penetrating stare to work when he judges our $100 Bonsai Art Photography Contest (Sir Lyman Poore Duff, former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada; from Wikipedia).
Win a $40.00 gift certificate with a good eye and a little luck
All you have to do is submit your entry and you’re in the contest. Here’s how it works: if you pick the three winners in exact order you’ll win a $40.00 gift certificate to Stone Lantern. In other words, if your first place choice wins first place, your second place choice wins second place and your third place choice wins third place, then you’re a winner.
Win a $10.00 gift certificate with a pretty good eye and even less luck
If you pick the three winners, no matter the order, you’ll win a $10.00 gift certificate to Stone Lantern.
The basics
The 16 entries below (placed in the order we received them) are entered in our $100 Bonsai Art Photography Contest. The judging will close by June 30th. Anyone can judge (see below if you entered in the contest), but only one time per person.
The view
It’s the artistry of the photograph that we are looking for. The subject can be a bonsai or just a tree, or part of either.
The details
1. Take a close look at the 16 entries below. Each one will be assigned a letter (A to P).
2. Assign your first choice 5 points, second choice 3 points and 3rd choice 1 point. Put the entry’s letter first followed by the number of points you assign. It should look like this: R-5, S-3, Z-1. Include critiques only if you want.
3. Email your ratings to me: wayne@stonelantern.com (with ‘Judge & Win!’ in the subject line). Do not put your ratings in the comments below!
Can you judge if you entered the contest?
Yes, if you want. However, you can’t assign 5 point to your own entry. You must assign 5 points to an entry that is not yours. You can assign your own entry 3, 1, or zero points.
Only one family or friend please
Please ask a maximum of only one family or friend to judge if you have entered the contest. A stuffed ballot box could mess the whole contest up. This will have to be on the honor system, but that shouldn’t be a problem as all of our contestants are, no doubt, honorable people.
Repeat: email your selections to me
