    I love this hobby and I'm sure a lot of you guys would like to see more hobbyists enter this wonderful hobby as well.

    I thought it would be cool with some small prizes and all to spread this hobby further.
    Perhaps get some small sample test kits or fertilisation kits from sponsors?

    Yup... If you look at the photo gallery, under Aquascape, you can see the winners of the 2004 AQ Aquascape competition... But it would be nice to have it as an Annual or Bi-Annual thingy... Which will depend on the mods and sponsors and stuff, I guess...

    Well being the greedy schmuck that i am.... I'm thinking an annual competition. Small $10 entry fee, SUBSTANTIAL cash prize, which would probably guarentee people signing up. possibly book a mall for exhibition space and rent it out to those guys who have stalls at aquarama?

    We'll be rich!

    I have never hosted this kind of event before but I really don't mind if there's guidance.
    I really feel that this hobby needs a bigger push and it's always a great sign to see newbies staying in this hobby.

    Of course, I have to settle all my work first...

    the hosting of a scaping contest will boost aquascaping in this forum. i actually joined this forum because i started out with aquascaping and thought here is the best place to look for inspiration and learn from others!

    many local scapers do not take part in ADA contests because they feel they are not up to standard yet. AQ aquascape contest can be an intermediate stage where newer/existing scapers can fight it out and learn from one another~! like a sea/asian games before the olympics! =)
