Aquatic Plant Photo Competition
One of our first major projects for our community is to create an aquascaping related Plant Database. I know what you're thinking, there are things like this out there, but trust me ours will be dramatically different. Not only will it offer a different perspective, but it will also feature user-friendly search options, advance criteria searching, keyword search, and much more. The new database will also offer aquascaping suggestions with each plant profile with real aquascaping examples. This should help a lot of aquascapers who love a certain plant, but can't figure out how to make it "fit" their layout.
Here's where you can help. We need your help in gathering the initial photos for our plant database. To encourage photos submittals and to make it fun for everyone, ASW staff has put together our first ever contest!
Here's your chance to win CASH while helping to create a premier plant and aquascaping resource.
