AGA Results 2025

Wow... some of the best entries I've ever seen. The Dutch was much more competitive than normal. Some really great entries.
Wabi-Kusa makes me wonder if I should even set one up.
Congrats to everyone!

I fixed the title. Don't know why I put ADA instead of AGA.

I really like the Wabi-Kusa entries too. I want to learn more about them when there’s some time.

Absolutely love “Maelstrom”! The balance of dark and light, the strong stonework that implies so much movement, and the avoidance of a lot of the cliches- it’s gorgeous!

If you haven't seen it, his Youtube video of the making of it is really good.

Thank you so much for dropping that link! What an incredible video. The vision, skill, technical knowledge, and patience it takes to make such a work of art is off the scale.

Amazing tanks. I have a question. Can we participate in competitions with the same tank? I mean, is it possible to enter both IAPLC and AGA competitions with a single tank? Or do we have to set up different tanks for each competition?

From what I understand, you can enter the same tank in different contests, but keep in mind, IAPLC rules say you can't publicly share images ie social media, of your tank entered in their contest until after they announce rankings

Thank you, that's what i was wondering.

I know you can because a few years ago, I think the same person won both competitions. However, ....

I want to add to what @techman81 said, In the past IAPLC had a rule that once you submitted a pic to their competition, they then owned that image, and you couldn't use it for anything else. I heard that rule had changed, but you might want to double check. Easy enough to get around, take 2 pics of the same scape, but still, it's important to know that ahead of time.
