Erik,
2. promotion, individual. I think Dave has volunteered to help out with this. 3. promotion, forums. Thanks Carlos for offering to help on this in a similar manner to which you're promoting the AB contest at the moment!
I've been working on both of these.
4. Biotope category. Steven Pituch (winner of the 2001 biotope entry, and IMHO the one who has taken the category most to heart in the four years of the contest) has some suggestions for the category that he put into a word document (and I've now forgotten the URL). I would like to work some of the ideas into at *minimum* a "suggestions" document for would-be biotope keepers. But I would like to have some more eyes check this out and give opinions on if some of the suggestions should also be made into formal rules. Steven, can you post or send a link to the URL again?
Steve and I have also been working on this one. 6. JUDGES. Need ideas on people. We try to have a different group each
year, though Karen has always offered to be a reserve in case someone drops out (and clearly this has happened!). In the past we've tried to get one or two people who are also participating in the convention, so they can be present for the awards presentation. Jan Bastmeijer is right out -- asked him once before and he said he's no aquascaper. But Amano has offered, so he might be one possibility.
That would be wonderful!
Other ideas?
Yes, me. I would very much like to judge this year. Best, Phil _________________________________________________________________Lose those love handles!
