Although we probably do need to be as specific as we can during this stage of development, I cannot help but believe that we are all going to be surprised by some of the "junk" that will be entered in this event. Maybe we should even consider a "tacky-but-cute" category. _______________ As categories will probably be picked by "us" and depend on number of entries we may find it reasonable to indeed have a "novelty" category. I remember a few years ago some folks on the APD talking about "cheese" tanks where they went out of their way to have tanks with bubbling this and that and wild colours. There are bound to be entries like this and I think they could be a lot of fun and not discouraged.
