There was 19 entries from Poland this year, it's more than any other "nonasiatic" country. I'm proud

Few comments after receiving the latest copy of Aqua Journal.

#1. Grand Prize maybe different from what we are used to but definitely did not catch too much of my attention. Square looking rocks did not work with roundish finish of plants. On the other hand, rock work itself was amazing. There are photographs before and after and transition is truly amazing. 2nd and 3rd place were definitely nicer IMO but not as unique.

#2. US participation in AGA is growing but in ADA unfortunetly decreased. US had 24 submissions in 2003 and dropped to 18 in 2004.

Few Others:

Japan
2003 - 402
2004 - 436

Poland
2003 - 12
2004 - 25

Germany
2003 - 21
2004 - 14

Korea
2003 - 19
2004 - 26

Total participation

2001 - 557
2002 - 661
2003 - 673
2004 - 791


#3. Japan flooded this competition. First winner is from Korea, then next 10 submissions from Japan, 1 Taiwan and again 10 from Japan, Ukraine, again 10 from Japan and so far......

Back to drawing boards fellas !!!!!!!!

I'm having trouble getting the file to work. What version of IE and/or Reader are you running?

Best,

It works for me with Mozilla 0.7 Firebird browser and Acrobat 5.0

It worked for me on Acrobat 5.0, but only after I installed a new Japanese language font package. If you get an error statement out of Acrobat then you can visit www.adobe.com and find out what the statement means and how to fix it.

Thanks Roger. I'd done the most recent update, but I still got the Japanese language not supported message. I'll do a specific search for the language support.

How's summer in the Southwest treating ya? We got nice breezes and high level intermittent cloud cover last week from Alex but that's about it.

Best,
Phil

Roger Miller

It's great Phil. If you're ever planning a trip to the southwest you should plan it for late summer through fall. The summer rains have started. We get little afternoon showers every other day or so. Temperatures are mild and the high desert is flowering.

Has anyone received the booklet from this years contest? I understand that the top 600 will receive a copy.

Or you can order it from ADA for $12 including shipping. Well worth it for inspiration.
