  • 2007 AGA International Aquascaping Contest

    Since ek mentioned it, I figured I'd start a thread.

    AGA is hosting its annual contest for planted tanks. They put me on the mailing list so I could help advertise, and are in the process of writing an official "bulletin," if you will, for online forums. When that's finalized, I'll post it, but since the deadline for submissions is, I think, September 15, it's probably a good idea to get the word out here on HFB.  :)

        Here's the official announcement!  :)

        Dear Fellow Aquascapers,

        With little over a month until the deadline for the 2007 AGA International Aquascaping Contest, it’s time to get those tanks pruned and ready for pictures.  Had more entries so far this year than in previous years.  So, it is sure to be another great year of outstanding aquascapes with some stiff competition in a number of the categories.

        As an added incentive to get those tanks ready and entered into this year’s contest, the AGA will again have a number of awards to give to the best aquascapes of the various categories as well as ribbons for the tanks that place in the contest.  With support from various vendors and national clubs, we should be able to provide some nice awards to the winning aquascapes.

        So, get those tanks perfected and pictures shot.  The September 30th deadline is fast approaching!  We look forward to another year of exciting and dynamic aquascapes.

        For more information about the contest, please visit the website:
        http://www.aquatic-gardeners.org/.  If your club or company would like to donate to the awards for this year’s contest, please contact the AGA at bailin_shaw@hotmail.com.

        Regards,

            Last chance....!

            Hello Aquascapers,

            With less than a week before the close of the contest, it is time to finish up the photos and get those last minute entries into the contest.  This year's contest closes on September 30 at midnight. Then the entries are release to our esteemed judges for review.

            Please be certain that the photo release forms have been signed for your entry so that your photos can be included in the contest.

            We in the AGA are excited to see the 2007 aquascapes once the judging is final and the winners announced.  As with past competitions, this should be another banner year for new and innovative designs, and like years past, the best entries within each category will again be given awards.

            For information on submitting an entry, please visit the Aquatic Gardeners Association website at: www.aquatic-gardeners.org.  We look forward to seeing the entries in this year's contest!

            Kind Regards,
            Bailin Shaw

                I can't wait to see the entries!!!

                Every year the scapes increase in style and flavor! You also notice how the contestants get better through the years too!


                Hopefully next year I will be able to enter my little Mini-M which I am sourcing hardscape for already......

                  I hope you enter next year, too!!

                  Yeah, I love looking at all the tanks. Hopefully they'll be some cool paludariums in there, too!  :)

                  You can also go to that sight and look at entries from 2000 on...

                    i love that website, i have gone through the entries so many times, everytim i discover something new, the big ones are awesome, but some of the nano scapes just amaze me because of the depth in design in such a small space - one day, maybe one day, even i can enter this thing, 2012 maybe  :wink:

                        That's ADA, actually. AGA has 2 more days to go (had me really confused there for a minute!).

                        But WOW, those tanks are AMAZING.  8O  I can't get over them!

                            Hello Aquascapers,

                            WOW!!! What a incredible turnout for this year's contest! The 2007 AGA International Aquascaping Contest is now officially closed for entries. The entries are being sent to the judges for their analysis and ranking. This has been a banner year for the contest, with over 200 entries in the various contest categories. As the coordinator, I do not envy the arduous job that the judges have ahead of them, but I am excited to see such a great turnout for this year's contest.

                            The wait should be short to see who entered and did well in this year's contest. We anticipate that on November 1, the winners of the individual categories will be announced, as well as the best of show for the contest. So, stay tuned it's only a short wait to see what new plants, new innovations and ideas, and unique aquascapes have been entered into this year's contest.

                            Best wishes and Good luck to the participants!
