Hi there, from the AGA Aquascaping Contest. For those new to the APD this year, we held the first Aquascaping Contest last year in response to some posts here about aquascaping style in different parts of the world. When the contest closed, we had a website full of styles from real people, all over the world that anyone can visit for ideas, or just for fun. The event was written up in more than a few magazines, including PAM, TAG, and Aquarium Heute. Hopefully you guys are all getting your tanks ready to enter this summer... just a reminder, the deadline is September 15th this year, a little earlier than last time so we can announce the winners at the AGA Convention. I've (hopefully) made the website a little easier for entering online this year: you can upload your photos directly to the contest site now; no pesky e-mailing pictures. And of course, you can still enter the old fashioned way by postal mail; your photos will be lovingly scanned in, and your text painstakingly typed by our expert staff. :) See the website for more details: http://showcase.aquatic-gardeners.org Some of you were gritting your teeth, wishing you could have won that bowfront tank last year.. well, now you can try again... sort of. The winner of the tank lives in Norway, and All-Glass only delivers to the US, so we've put the item up for bid on EBay. Here's the URL: http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1246316562 - Erik PS: Yes, the AGA Convention brochure/registration is now online too.
