I found this post on the APD interesting. How come the Steering Committee knows nothing about it? I guess it's a nice gesture on his part, but I find it disconcerting that the AGA name is tied up with this with no prior knowledge of the SC. I guess the good thing is that he's not calling it "the first" any more ;-) Karen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2001 22:29:57 -0400 From: "David A. Youngker" <nestor10@mindspring.com> Subject: ADA International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest 2001 A brief announcement for our USA- based readers: Through special arrangements between the Aquatic Gardeners Association and Aqua Design Amano, the registration deadline for US- addressed submissions to the ADA International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest 2001 has been extended through April 15, 2001. Mr. Nozomi Hayakawa, the English- speaking point of contact for Mr. Amano, conveys the latter's invitation and offer in an e-mail to Charlene Nash of the Tennessee Aquarium, dtd Monday, April 02, 2001 3:30 AM. Both the AGA and ADA express the hope that this extension will enable a greater number of people from America to more fully represent our culture's unique perspective on the "Design Amano" approach to aquascaping. Details of the contest and submission guidelines are available at the contest's Web site http://www.adana.co.jp/contest.html . Pertinent e-mail contacts are listed on this page as well. Thanks for allowing the intrusion... - -Y- David A.
