Thanks for the reminder, Bill! I think I'm going to enter this year...

Great . Just remember to send in your entry form before the dead line - 16 Dec 2013 .
Will keep you updated as to the set up as I receive more info . We usually have the Sat and Sun prior to the posted days but will keep you up to date as days are confirmed .

Bill, what qualifies as a "novelty" aquarium set-up? I didn't see that explained in the forms that you posted...

Also, are prize categories separate for each class? For instance, is there a first place saltwater, a first place freshwater w/ plants, first place freshwater w/o plants, first place novelty, etc., or is it just first place across all categories?

Thanks

Sam , Anything that does not fall into the other classes . Usually themed ie Sponge Bob , all glass ornaments or any other creative set up . I would not enter a saltwater novelty as there are usually very few saltwater entries but that is up to you . As for the prizes , there is a 1st , 2nd , and 3rd place in each class in each division ( Adult , Professional and Youth ) there also is a Best of Show and a Best Fresh and a Best Salt . So there is a total of 45 possible class prizes and 3 overall prizes . Just like the lottery if you don't enter you can't win .
Many times there is only 1 entry in a class .

Thanks, Bill! Working on some ideas...
