[AGA-Contest] Contest update and forum updates.
Hi All,
I've put together a short document to update the forums about the number of
contestants and judges we have for this year's contest. Please let me know
if there are any changes you would like before we start posting to the
forums. I also wanted to know what the status of the prizes/awards are at
this point. NEAPS is still interested in sponsoring a category if these is
still a need for additional prizes. Also, what are the advertising needs
for periodicals like FAMA, TFH, etc?
In addition to the document, I've also attached the list of current forums
that I and others have been posting on. All of the forums have the
username: aga-member and password: aquaticplants. This should simplify
postings on the forum in the future. I would like to change the email to
the an AGA based email in the near future. Is there a way I can be assigned
contest coordinator email for this purpose and for other coordinators in the
future?
Finally, I have some people I'd like to invite onto the contest list. These
are people who responded about helping with the postings in the forums and
any additional help they could provide.
Brad Thexton - gelenius@optusnet.com.au (australian member)
Greg Porray - gporray@sbcglobal.net
Mary Beth Petranek - mpetranek@fulbright.com
I'm going to split up the list of forums and have people post to the forums
they've been assigned. There are also some sites that I'm currently
enrolled in that is part of that list and that I've already been posting to,
so I'll keep those for the time being. Zoe, if you'd like to split your
list, please email Brad or Greg. Brad, Greg, or Mary there are a couple of
additional forums that could use posting to which don't have names assigned
below. If you'd like to take those, it would be greatly appreciated
Anyway, let me know about the document and list of forums that need posting
to. Also, if there are some additional forums I'm forgetting, send them my
way and I'll add it to the list.
Thanks all!
Bailin
Document 1:
Dear Fellow Aquascapers,
With less than two months until the deadline for the 2007 AGA International
Aquascaping Contest, it?s time to get those tanks pruned and ready for
pictures. To date, there have been more than 20 aquascapes already entered
into this year?s contest. So, it is sure to be another great year of
outstanding aquascapes with some stiff competition in a number of
categories.
The hard job of judging these aquascapes will again fall to a panel of
esteemed judges. For 2007, we have our first representative from Australia
to critique the tanks, AGA member, Eddie Tootle. Also for this year, we
have 2005?s Best of Show winner for the AGA Aquascaping Contest, Justin Law.
In addition to Justin, the USA?s own Tony Gomez will also be one of our
judges for this year?s contest. And of course, the AGA?s own, Karen Randall
will be the final judge for the contest. Karen rounds out a dynamic group
of judges who have years of experience and accolades to back up their
assessment of this year?s tanks.
So, get those tanks perfected and pictures shot. The September 15th
deadline is fast approaching! We look forward to another year of exciting
and dynamic aquascapes.
