Hello aquascaping lovers!

On behalf of the entire AGAIAC 2025 group, I thank you for your participation and appreciation of our contest.

This year marks a new era for us, where we were able to overcome great challenges and difficulties, and for that reason we are very pleased with everyone's participation in this edition. You are the driving force for us to continue our crusade in favor of aquascaping.

Each year, we see new trends emerging, new challenges, new perspectives, and this has a positive impact on our entire community. Each aquarium that participates in our contest is a source of inspiration for thousands of other aquascapers and enthusiasts. May each participating aquarium continue to be a propagator of this wonderful hobby, this incredible art, and our beloved passion.

I believe that aquascaping is a powerful tool for human improvement and that it brings us closer to our essence through the contemplation and admiration of Nature, so enjoy the process and take advantage of these unique moments.

Congratulations to everyone, and I hope to see you again in 2026.

Have a wonderful year!

André Longarço
