Chuckie Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Announcing the inaugural AusAquascaping Competition! Entries are now open for the first ever aquascaping competition hosted by AAQ! * Entries will close on 15 February 2009. * There are 3 categories: Natural Freshwater, Marine, and Novelty. * The winning entries will be selected by a poll of AAQ members. * If you wish to enter the competition, up to 3 photographs of no more than 800px wide should be submitted to admin@ ausaqua.net by no later than midnight on 15 February 2009. * Only the owner of the tank may enter the competition. * You will need to have made at least 10 meaningful posts other than in the Introductions forum to enter. * The category, photographer and tank owner must be identified in the email attaching the entry. * Photograph colour can be adjusted for realism or accuracy only. No further modification/photoshopping is permitted. * Entries can include tanks that have been decommissioned since the photographs were taken, ie the tank does not need to still be in existence at the date of entry. * Photographs will be uploaded by AusAqua admins. The photographer/tank owner will not be identified until polling closes. * Photos will be open for viewing from 16 February 2009. * A poll will be opened in each category from 16 February 2009. * Only AAQ members with a post count greater than 10 may vote. This is to discourage people from joining the forum solely to bolster votes for any particular individual's tank. * Polling will close on 28 February 2009. * Winners will be announced on 1 March 2009. * The Winner of Best Natural Freshwater, Best Marine and Best Novelty tank will be featured on the AAQ home page. * Banners/signatures will also be awarded to the winning entries in each of the 3 categories. We're really looking forward to seeing all your gorgeous tanks! :cheer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghengis Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Sweet! I'm actually planning a rescape, as well... You might as well just give the prize to Kitz, though...he's gonna give all of us a right towelling! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettc777 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 lol he might not be back from HK in time to restart up his tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted January 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I hope he's back in time. He can enter photos from there if he's online and has them uploaded. Some other people might surprise you, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghengis Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Any entries, yet?? Planning a rescape in the next week or two...went rock collecting today. Don't think it'll be ready/grown in in time for this though... Will there be another soon?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Does the person entering the competition need to have at least 10 posts as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted January 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 If there's enough interest, we are considering holding the contest twice a year. Photographs have been submitted I will check how many posts are necessary to enter. The competition is intended to be for participating members of the forum .

Chuckie Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hi guys. You will need to have made at least 10 meaningful posts other than in the Introductions forum to enter. Thanks Also, there will only be a 2nd contest if we get adequate interest in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghengis Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Isn't that rule just a little arbitrary? How are ones posts to be deemed "meaningful"?? I have over 400 up, but I wouldn't call any of those even remotely meaningful... Take this one for example!! Oh, and I'm interested...just too shame to enter, atm :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 other than in the Introductions forum any posts other than those in the intro forum - unless they are spam or trolls which would be deemed non-meaningful C'mon Ghengis send in your entry.. you know you want to :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Meaningful, as in making a contribution to the community as opposed to spamming "Hi" or "cool" in other people's threads to get the post count up. Maybe even posts describing our decisions as arbitrary qualify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 No, don't enter Ghengis, I'm hoping that a whole lot of people will be too shy to enter first time round so that my totally rubbish entry will WIN..... bwahahahahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Please have a second round, I have a good idea for the novelty section, but don't have the resources to finish it for this round. Also I think those of us who are more nervous will need a little inspiration, so you'll probably get more entries next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
divy Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 yeah im not finnished my planted tank too so im hoping for a second round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 a second round would be on the cards depending of course on how much interest/how many participants the first round receives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callatya Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 You aren't going to lose anything by entering I'll be giving mine a quick wipe down and chucking them in the pile, and trust me they are not show-stopping by any stretch of the imagination! You are pretty much guaranteed to beat me, at the very least C'mon, cameras out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Is it only one entry per member? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
