This is a great opportunity for you to share and appreciate your beautiful planted aquarium with thousands of people across the planet!

Thank you for joining the 14th International Aquatic Plants Layout Contest.

This year, the contest received a total of 2,320 entries from 64 counties and areas. All the works were impartially graded and determined, and now we are pleased to announce the contest results.
