I'm not planning on entering it into a contest, just a project.

I can try. I'm still not sure how to go about turning it into a Bonsai.

It won't work - in large part because radish is a very short-lived annual that emerges from its seed, then sets seeds and dies, all within the span of a couple of months. You might be able to work it into a Kusamono planting with some careful planning/timing, or used it as an accent plant if the timing is right, but otherwise you should probably look at growing it as a practice plant. It is often said that if you can keep a radish happy/healthy in a container, it's an accomplishment.
