Nice composition, balance and color. In six years of judging I've had probably fewer than ten boxes in front of me that did not have grass. Gutsy!

No greens required or allowed in Florida BBQ Association Events.... I play with lettuce for the KCBS events.

two butts minimum required. More components demostrates a competely and perfectly cooked product. Fills the box nicely too.

Turn in box from a recent competition
Wow, that is a nice box of meat! Back when I was a judge would have given that one a 10. Nice shootin' Tex!

I'm not a judge and don't know requirements - but just as a guy who likes to eat - this looks great! I really don't like the "green" in the turn in boxes I usually see. Those look contrived and artificial. This presents the meat in its best form, IMHO.

Amen to getting rid of the "weeds in the box." I wish more would do it.

From what I'm told by teams doing the boxes, making a pretty box without the greens is quite a bit tougher. It takes some finesse and more time that you sometimes just don't have. It takes up volume in the box and gives some color contrast that looks pretty.

Again, I am NOT a judge and have no experience in this arena - so, should probably shut up... But, when I watch the comps on television, it always seems to me that the "greens" are a placeholder, something to take up space, a nod to convention, whatever. They do not make the box look more inviting to me as a guy who wants some good food. Now, if someone could make the greens "do" something... I am all for it. But as they sit (in my admittedly limited view) they do not attract and, frankly, distract for me. I'd like to see what you do with the meat or other "garnishes" to make an attractive "box".

Another point to having the greens is that depending on the submission, many times you do not have a full box of meat. It's nice to be able to give the meat a placeholder, something to hold them in the box and frame them.

I'm no judge by any stretch of the means, but...I would love to start into a turn in like that! That's enough for me, what about the rest of the judges ;D Nice cook and thanks fr sharing!
