Erik,
I saw you murdered my graphic on the press kit page. I am making up some
banners. One thing I am looking for is an Austrailian contest tank. I guess
I'm just overlooking it. Can anybody find it?
Ricky

That's good enough explanation to me and reason not to for me. :)
I've got a few minutes to explain:
As you probably remember, being on the other side of the contest (I beleive
this was the year I cell phone'd you from Houston to let your party know I
was flipping the switch on the site), we had the pond category in 2002.
James felt it (along with the "art" category) was something to expand into.
My read on the dismal turnout, disinterested judging, as well as the
difficulty I had in "melding" the category in with the other aquascaping
categories, was that there already was a well-established pond hobby, much
older than aquascaping, and they had their own contests, methodology, etc.
The criteria was really different. It didn't make sense in the context of
the contest. We had to give the judges separate instructions. What it
really looked like was a category for aquarists who happened to have ponds.
Anyway, I pulled it for 2003.
