Who is subscribed to this list at this time? Could people chime up so I can get an idea of who I can contact for help? Zoe, you mentioned that you'd be willing to help with advertising to variuos forums. Would you like to help with adding this blurb to a list of forums I haven't had a chance to get onto? We can split that list from Scott. If anyone else is on this list, please chime in.
Also, what do we have open for the contest with regards to sponsorship of prizes on categories. NEAPS would like to sponsor one of the categories. How much is required for sponsorship?
Look over the revision and if looks good, I'll start getting this out to the various forums I'm already enlsited with.
Thanks all! Back to bed now. Bailin Hello Aquascapers,It has been three weeks since the opening of the AGA International Aquascaping Contest and we have already received several completed aquascapes for this years contest. At this rate, competition for this year's cash prizes - including the $150 prize for Best of Show - may be quite stiff by the September 30th deadline. We looks forward to seeing more and more incredible aquascapes roll in during the next several months.
The past success of the contest was defined by the volunteers that helped with the advertising, the awards and judge procurement, and other duties that were necessary to make the contest flow smoothly. For the 2007 contest, the AGA is again in dire need of people who can donate a very small amount of time to help with the things that need to be done for this year?s contest. Be a part of making this year?s contest as successful as the past contest.
If you have 10 spare minutes a week, please email us: bailin_shaw@hotmail.com
I look forward to hearing and working with all of you. With kind regards, Bailin Shaw AGA Contest Chair
Congratulations Bailin!I'd be a little more upbeat about the early entry phenomenon (which I'm quite jazzed about), and mention the prizes (always important for some). One possibility (albeit busy):"It has only been three weeks since the opening of the AGA International Aquascaping Contest and we have already received several completed entries.

My daughter was born this Tuesday morning at 3:30 and things are just starting to get back to "normal". I had a document ready to send out Monday night after putting my son to bed, but my little one had other ideas. Since I'm not sleeping much now, I have some time to devote to the contest now.Karen, I'll email Dennis and ask him to be a judge. He's pretty busy with school, but he would probably be quite excited about being involved with this contest.As for drumming up some additional help, I've put together a short blurb for everyone to look over before I start posting to the forums listed by Scott. I'm also going to start soliciting help from the list of people that was sent to me by Cheryl. So, anyone wanting to help email people to ask about posting info to the various forums, please let me know on this list.Hello Aquascapers,It has been three weeks since the opening of the AGA International Aquascaping Contest and we already have some aquascapes entered in this years contest.

One person I'd like to see judge is Dennis Dietz, if he has the time. I think he has a great eye.
