Judging

["David Engle" <datruedave@home.com>]

I'd *like* to see a panel that consists of(but isn't limited to) perhaps a
Dutch aquascaper, a Japanese aquascaper, and someone to represent the
Americas (most likely an AGA member?).  Now, one person comes to mind to
plug one of the three holes above, but I don't have a clue as to how to
contact Mr. Amano.  And although I've seen many gorgeous Dutch and American
aquariums, no one person really stands out in my mind for *aquascaping*.
But to be truthful, depending on judging guidelines, we may not need to have
an "aquascaper" to be judge.  If we set out certain guidelines, I really
think that our list of possible judges will grow enormously.  It *is* both
art and science that will be judged.  Perhaps we could get an art professor
or an aquatic plant specialist to judge?  How about celebrities?  That could
be interesting!
We would announce not only the overall score that an entry received, but
what each judge scored it, right?
