The Washington City Paper’s annual Best of D.C. contest recognizes the best local icons, groups and locations in the D.C. area. The National Bonsai & Penjing Museum has earned the Best Place to Take an Out-of-Towner title in this competition the last three years, as well as the runner-up spot for Best Place to Meditate in 2020! 

This year, we had to secure nominations to even get on the ballot. But you all showed so much support for bonsai – the Museum and National Bonsai Foundation garnered nominations in multiple sections!!

 

Now we need your help to secure the titles. All you have to do is push the green VOTE button next to the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum or National Bonsai Foundation. 

Will you take a moment to vote for us in the THREE following categories?

 
  • PEOPLE & PLACES – Best Place to Take an Out-of-Towner: please choose the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum

VOTING CLOSES SEPTEMBER 19 at 11:59pm! Thank you for taking the time to honor and spread the word about the Museum, an ever-evolving emblem of intercultural understanding and friendship. 

P.S. The Museum and NBF are up for a combined (heartwarming) nine categories! That’s all thanks to YOU for helping us get nominated. We are simply aiming to keep the Museum’s status as Best Place to Take an Out-of-Towner and move up in the Best Place to Meditate ranks, plus grab some acclaim for NBF as the Best Arts & Culture Nonprofit.
