All Aquatic Experience

[krisw]

I'm reposting an announcement for the AGA's Aquascaping Live contest in Chicago this November. They're looking for team to compete. The Aquatic Experience is a huge convention with thousands of attendees, and Oliver Knott is one of the key speakers. If anyone from GWAPA would be interested in participating in as a member of "Team GWAPA" please let me know ASAP. There's cash money to be won, a great event, and a wonderful way to support the AGA.

We at The Aquatic Gardeners Association are thrilled and excited to partner with The Aquatic Experience in announcing the biggest LIVE aquascaping contest to be held in North America. (Big prize money too!) Please enter as an individual, or help your local club (or you can put together a small group of friends… you don’t have to be a formal, organized club!) The AGA BOD will choose the 6 final groups to be invited to compete. Please spread the word to any individuals, groups and clubs you know who might be interested. We want this to be an AWESOME contest! :
