Re: [AGA-Contest] Pond Category for Contest



Oh, you mean the crop? I needed something small enough to use as a banner, but if I did a straight reduction on the masthead, it ended up unreadable. Glad to have an official one, though.

I don't think we've ever had an entry from AU!

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?

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

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.
