The Spring Aquascaping competition is back for the second year! See last year's entries for inspiration.
Last year was a big hit with eleven entries. The freshwater planted competition was intense with eight entries. We will, once again, follow the Aquatic Gardeners Association's guidelines for categories and the judging criteria. A panel of 3 independent judges will score the entries.
All MCAS members in good standing are eligible to compete. You cannot re-enter a tank you entered last year.
Entries are due at midnight on Sunday, July 13th.
Winners will be announced at the August or September meeting.
The entry form will be posted here at a later date. The submission includes 1-5 photos, a title, and some information about your setup.
You can do this! Enter any tank you have and share your accomplishments with your fellow hobbyists!
