It is time to think about what you are putting in the contests. We will have two contests.
This year all tanks entered will be eligible for both contests. One contest will be decided by Popular vote as we have done for the past two years. The other contest will be judges by aquarium experts. All first place winners from both contests will receive a prize. There will also be a BEST in SHOW winner for each contest and these will also receive a prize. All winners will also receive an award.
For the entry requirements and sign up go to http://capitalcichlids.org/aquamania/?page_id=12
The first two rules are copied below:
A) Contact TheBigFishDeal@gmail.com to request participation in the Aquarium Beautiful Competition. Participation is free with registration and allocated on a first come, first served basis with space set aside for sponsors. In other words, if you want to enter, just email what class and tank size for each entry to the email given here.
B) Entries will be in one of the following five categories (or classes):
(1) Nano (under 10 gallon),
(2) Medium (10-29 gallon),
(3) Large (30+ gallons),
(4) CARES Species Tank (must include one or more identified species of fish from the CARES Priority List: http://www.carespreservation.com/priority_list.html), and
(5) Themed Tank (must include a theme for the tank…it can be fun – think the Annual WaPo Peeps Contest – or metaphorical, educational, whatever…the theme just needs to be stated somewhere on your entry).
