Re: AGA CONTEST - Digest V1 #133

[Linda Bergh <lbergh@richmond.infi.net>]

I've been quiet for a while, trying to sort out what is going on here, and
because since I'm not a member of the AGA, I feel I may not be as well
received as I would be if I were a member.

HOWEVER   I agree with Ken when he said:

<<Let people send any damned thing they want. We will showcase it on the
website.  Plus, there will be a competition that will be judged by a group
of people who will decide what THEY consider to be the best EXAMPLES of
current aquascaping. Prizes would be nice, but recognition would be more
than enough to get an acceptable number of entrants.

I would like to think that  the AGA will be with us regardless of what is
included in this showcase.  If the judges just happened to think that a
plastic showcase is the best example of current aquascaping  (highly
unlikely), then I think it might possibly be an eye-opener for AGA members.
They (we) could learn from this thing too.  I say include all, emphasize
some.>>

So far as I can tell, this is the first time anyone has tried to have
anything like this.  I think that it is more important to get participants
than it is to refine the process right away.  What is the point of having a
lot of rules if there are only 3 entries? Next year, we can build on what we
learned this year. 

I say open the flood gates.  Let the entries come in, possibly dividing them
into categories.
