Aquascaping contests are NOT just for the professionals or very experienced aquascapers. There are many reasons why you should enter an aquascaping contest. In episode 36 of the ScapeFu Podcast, we share with you the top 5 reasons why we think you should enter.
The Reasons
- Builds your character by challenging you to do your best. It pushes you to be more disciplined. Self esteem. Teamwork!
- The awards! Everyone loves goodies and, heck, you may win enough to offset the cost of the aquascape you submitted.
- Recognition for yourself and helping to expand the popularity of the hobby.
- The award ceremony or party like the ADA NA Party. But no EAPLC Party this year??
- Feedback from very experienced aquascapers!
