Judges' Comments
This is an impressively tall display! The hardscape elements in this paludarium help to draw the eye up high, as there is little to appreciate in the transition from life above to below the surface. This is disappointing, as the hardscape above the surface does so much of the visual heavy lifting. There are beautiful moments in this layout, but also are others that are confusing and break visual immersion. The main branches, cascading together, covered in moss create a fantastic impression. Right above them, a row of vertical twigs creates confusion against a flat wall. The planting is difficult to fully appreciate from the documentation, but appears to be great. The livestock feels less considered and rather inappropriate for long-term care.

While I do quite like the scape, you lost points for having an under developed water section. You also lost points for the vertical pieces of wood in the top middle of the tank. They pull my focus and not in a good way. I would suggest planting over the wood. I think your scape will benefit greatly from having more time for the plants to fill in and mature.
