There will be no entry fee but it seems ADA will ask each applicant the cost of the contest book and its shipping (JPY 2,000).
Contest application form will be uploaded soon at ADA ^ ANAfUCA}m ^ lC`[ANAE
This info is based on the outline attached to 2006 contest book.

Aqua Journal December issue has published the announcement of the contest. The entrance fee is 2000 JPY. The announcement is in Japanese. "2000" is the only number I understood from the announcement. | |

May be it is my mistake to interpret 2,000 as the entry fee. I need to find out a place to understand the Japanese letters. | |

Faruk,
2000 Yen is only about $20 US. | |

I don't think $5-10-20 a year would differ for the comitted aquascapers. But having a fee differs a lot for the nature of the contest.
If the entry fee issue is true, I believe that the participation rate will decline. Decreasing the number of entries would probably increase the overal quality of the pictures in the contest. On the other hand international face of the contest may suffer from the existence of any fee. | |

I am fairly confident that the 20,000yen fee is ONLY for the contest book. The entry is FREE. Normally, the contestants would recieve the book for free. This coming year, it will cost you 20,000 yen (~$18-20) for the contest book. | |

Tony,
20,000 yen is more like $200. You've got an extra zero in there  | |

Lol, yeah-right!
Second Gomer with regards to the 2000JPY is for the mailing and cost of the contest book. Says so in the piece of paper mailed together with the 2006 contest book for those who participated. | |
