OK, taking OFF my AGA steering committee hat, and putting on my AGA Contest wrangler hat: Today is August 16th. There is exactly ONE month left to get your entries in to this year's Aquascaping Contest: September 15th is the deadline. If you haven't heard of this, go visit our website right now and look at last year's results and read how YOU can enter: http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org This year's contest will be judged by a panel of international experts: Karl Schoeler (USA), Wim van Dronglen (Netherlands/USA), Jeff Kropp (USA), and Pim Wilhelm (Netherlands). There will also be awards and prizes for aquascapes that place 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Each entry costs $5, and you can enter up to three aquaria. You can enter online through the website, or you can print out the entry blank and mail it (with your prints, slides or negatives) through postal mail--- It's that simple! The winners will be announced simultaneously on the Internet and at the AGA Conference November.
