"I would suggest all entries are eligible for judging if the entrant desires to be judged. Let the judging itself determine what is "best". We might be pleasantly surprised." I really think that we're going to discourage a lot people from submitting their aquascapes. I don't think that my slate and algae tank qualifies for "Olga's" contest, but I think it looks pretty good, maybe even good enough to compete. My opinion is still that we accept everything and hope that nothing is submitted that really throws the judges for a loop. (our judging criteria {I can already hear James screaming "Not yet!"} should help the judges in this regard.)
