 FESTIVAL OF FISHKEEPING
             WEEKEND



TETRA
SOCIETY FURNISHED AQUARIUM
COMPETITION

Tetra have kindly offered to sponsor the 2008 Society Furnished Aquarium Competition.
I would like to thank them for their support and feel sure this will be a big help in making this year's competition even better.

CONDITIONS OF ENTRY

The Competition is open to any Society or Internet Group resident at the Festival Weekend.

ENTRIES

A maximum of two aquariums per Society or Internet Group, one tropical and/or one coldwater.

SUPPORT

The aquarium, light, filter (and heater if required) will be provided for the competition.
These will be provided by Tetra, for the duration of the Festival.

Anglo Aquarium Plant Company will be providing a basic 20 plant pack
for each entry.



ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Gravel, additional plants, tank decorations and fish to be supplied by the entering Society.

The aquariums will be available for furnishing from mid-day Friday 10th October (latest)
and MUST BE COMPLETED BY 11am on SATURDAY 11th.

A separate display area, close to the competition, will be available for Societies to promote themselves. A small Society logo can also be displayed on each entry.

**Possession of Licence will be needed for any DEFRA-listed coldwater fish exhibited**
    (A full list is available on the FBAS Web-site HERE).

JUDGING & AWARDS

Each entry will be judged by visitors to the Festival who will be asked to vote for their favourite aquarium based on the question:

"Which aquarium would you like most in your home?"

This is the only judging criteria. Over 800 people judged last year's aquariums.

The aquarium gaining most votes on each of the public days (Saturday and Sunday)
will be declared the daily winner.

The aquarium gaining highest total number of votes over the 2 days
will be deemed overall winner
and receive the

Wally Ryder Memorial Trophy


This is a Perpetual Trophy, so will need to be returned for the 2009 Festival.

HOW TO ENTER

Due to the amount of work in building the respective Society areas, I would like to give as much notice as possible to our sponsors - and to those who have to set up the display areas.
