The due dates for show entries and rental tank reservations is fast approaching. If you are planning to show or sell fish the time to register is now.

The hotel is filling up fast, especially on Friday and Saturday nights. We do have an overflow hotel available if you register late and miss out on getting into the show hotel. I will have a confirmation number for the overflow hotel once the need for it kicks in.

It is time to sign up for the Aquarium Beautiful competition. If you are coming to the convention and would like to represent your local aquarium club in a fun contest for a trophy and bragging rights.... Read on!

This contest will team an aquarium club with a commercial fish farmer to set up, decorate and stock a display aquarium using the labor of the team, and aquarium display donated by United Pet Group and the fish from a commercial fish farmer.
Entry Fee: $50 (paid by the aquarium club) & livestock for the display (donated to the convention by the fish farmer)
General Rules:

  • Each team will be provided an aquarium set up.
  • Convention sponsors will provide a large pile of aquarium substrates, decorations and backgrounds.
  • The event starts on Thursday evening, when all of the teams gather at their aquariums and are given the signal to start setting up their display.
  • The contest winners will be chosen by attendee voting using raffle tickets. All of the tanks with decorations (not livestock) will be raffled. 'Voters' are casting a vote when they enter a ticket into the raffle for a specific display. There is no limit to the number of tickets a person can use towards a display.
Awards:

  • The aquarium with the most votes (raffles tickets) wins. Both the aquarium club and the fish farm will receive a trophy.
How to Enter:

  • Any aquarium club that wants to participate needs to send an email to chairman@aca2010.com expressing a desire to enter.
  • When we have a sufficient number of entries (clubs and farms to pair together), we will call for the payment of the entry fee.
  • The teams will be drawn randomly. The teams will be notified who they are teamed with so a plan of action can be made.
Have Fun with This Contest!!!

  • Promote your team! Talk it up! We will announce on this website who the teams are. Talk a little trash!
  • Make t-shirts for your team.
  • Sit together at the banquet.

We have set up ground transportation with Go Airport Connection. The more people you ride with in the shuttle the less expensive the ride becomes. Use this forum to coordinate with other people coming into the airport, and everyone saves money. Even if you do not team up with someone, if you just happen to share the ride your fee is decreased automatically.
