Re: [AGA-Contest] Contest website up for testing

A coule of edits -- the 2009 contest can't be open again as ithasn't been open before, so I changed that. Also, the word "prizes" was unnecessary; "award" is enough.

Hello Aquascapers,

The Aquatic Gardeners Association International Aquascaping Contest is now open once again to accept entries into this yearâs contest. So, itâs time to tidy up the tanks, finish growing and grooming the plants, and shooting the final pictures to share with other aquatic gardeners worldwide.

The contest, which opens June 15^th, is aimed at aquascapers of all skill levels and will showcase many styles represented worldwide. As in yearâs past, entry of your aquascapes can easily be done online thanks to our diligent tech guru and the best tanks will be awarded cash or ribbons. The deadline for entry of an aquascape is September 15^th, 2009.

For rules and details, please visit the AGA website (www.aquatic-gardeners.org). We look forward to seeing many inspiring aquascapes in the near future.

Kind Regards,

Bailin Shaw

Hi All,

Let's open for tomorrow. I've been out of town dealing with some family health issues and just arrived back home this evening. I'll put something together this evening and send it out for editing tomorrow.

More to come.

Thanks.
