I'm not sure just how expensive you mean, but what if we got a glossy
magazine to co-sponsor the contest?  Is it probable that they would be
willing to shoulder the costs of printing a glossy magazine just for us?
What a perfect forum to sell aquatic plant advertisements!  Since apparently
there isn't enough demand for a regular aquatic plant magazine, an annual
"bonus" issue (that includes our contest results as well as articles and ads
specific to the aquatic plant hobby) could be a huge success.  Is this a
good idea? Or has this been tried before and shot down?  I'm sure Karen has
the contacts to find out if this is feasible or not....
