A Message from the AGAIAC Committee Chair

Hello Fellow Aquascapers,

We are excited to announce that the 2025 Aquatic Gardeners Association International Aquascaping Contest is officially opening for submission of entries. The contest committee is excited to be back on track and we hope that this year's contest will more closely resemble the entry process from prior years.

I would like to give a big “Thank you” to Brian Wigginton who has been hard at work building a new platform and making improvements to both the submission process and the contest showcase for this year and the future. The contest committee is indebted to Brian for undertaking this huge effort to update the entry process and get us on the right track.

As with past contests, all information including the rules and guidelines, entry forms and other important information about the contest is provided on the website: agaiac.org. We have made some minor changes to the categories and rules, so be sure to have a look.

So, without further delay, please go to the following link to submit your entry: Submit Your Entry

The AGA contest committee looks forward to seeing the submissions!

Bailin Shaw, Contest Committee Chair
