Fellow Aquascapers,

It is with great pleasure that the Aquatic Gardeners Association announces the opening of its 11th Annual International Aquascaping Contest. The contest showcases some of the most striking and unique aquascapes the world over and introduces the newest styles and designs emerging in the hobby. We hope to have another record turnout for the 2010 aquascaping contest and look forward to seeing the aquascapes entered into the contest. Closing date is September 25th! Winners of the contest will be announced in November, 2010 at the AGA Convention in Ft. Lauderdale and on this website.

You may submit entries via the internet which makes for easier processing. Several points need to be emphasized regarding the contest:

1. Your photo(s) cannot be included in the contest unless you manually sign a Photo Release form. A digital signature is insufficient. However, a manually signed form can be mailed or scanned-and-emailed per the instructions on the website.
2. Please use your legal name.
3. Cash awards to winners will be made only via PayPal.
4. Please do not add copyrights or signatures to your photos. Please do not add borders to the individual photos or create a mosaic of photos of the aquascapes.

As a final note, the success of the contest depends on the efforts of the contest volunteers, and this year is no exception. For this year’s contest to be equally successful and meet the standards set in previous years, the AGA again needs volunteers to help with a wide variety of duties required to make the contest run smoothly. We are in need of some individuals to take the lead of four basic committees: Ribbons, Advertising, Graphic Design, Sponsorship, and finally finding Judges. Except for procuring judges, the duties will take little time and effort, but your efforts will be an important part in making this contest a success. So, come join in the fun!!

We look forward to seeing the many wonderful aquascapes in the coming months and are sure we will be as surprised with some of the aquascapes as we have been in the past.

Sincere Regards,
Bailin Shaw
Aquascaping Contest Chair
