Since 2001, the World Aquatic Plant Landscaping Competition has been held 15 times. The total number of participating countries and regions, as well as the total number of collected works, are increasing year by year. This year’s Landscaping Contest collected 2,545 works from 69 countries and regions, creating a record high in the history of the World Aquatic Plant Landscaping Competition and setting a new benchmark for the World Aquatic Plant Landscaping Competition. The 15th anniversary of the Scenery Competition has been marked with a strong touch of color.

I would like to express my deep gratitude to all the contestants who participated in the 2015 World Aquatic Plant Landscaping Competition. In the 2015 World Aquatic Plant Landscaping Competition, a record-breaking 2,545 works from 69 countries and regions around the world were collected. After strict review, after all results are determined, the results will be made public this time. In the entries, the world ranking will also be marked. I hope the new design will be recognized by everyone.

In addition, the collection of works from this competition will be released for sale this fall. This collection will also be sold around the world, so please stay tuned.

Finally, the 16th World Aquatic Plant Landscaping Competition will still be held next year. I hope everyone can continue to participate in next year's competition.

Special benefits and prizes for IAPLC participants

Since 2021, IAPLC has been offering various prizes to top-ranking participants, such as the TOP100 medal for the winners and official stickers for all applicants. As of 2025, the current benefits for participants and prizes for winners are as follows.
Resilience - IIAC 2023 #01 Juan Puchades / Spain

Resilience is a project that was born thanks to a trip to Vivarium in the Netherlands. There I found a piece of wood that had multiple virtues: dynamism, uniqueness, natural beauty and a considerable size. I dedicated many hours to find similar pieces that could complement it. From that point on, the design had to strike the perfect balance between three elements: stone, wood and planting.
Curves - IIAC 2023 #02 Ant Long Tran Hoang / Vietnam

Curves is the name as well as the shape of material of my aquarium. The suitable aquatic plant shapes emphasized curves of rock also created the flow of underwater streamline too, and the flow is the main idea of this layout.
FALLEN - IIAC 2023 #03 Tran Duc Minh / Vietnam

In my work this year, I aim to offer viewers a different perspective that allows them to experience strength, power, and strong reflections between dark and light, near and far, big and small, without deviating from the beauty of nature. In addition to taking meticulous care of the vanishing point, I utilized all the remaining space in the aquarium. Regarding the plants, I have tried to take care of them so that they are in the best growing conditions. Lastly, I am grateful and thankful to the IIAC Steering Committee and the judges for recognizing my work.
Evergreen Valley - IIAC 2023 #04 Bahtiar Gigi / Indonesia

I was inspired by my city, the city of Depok, which has lots of caves in its rivers, and lots of very lush trees. And finally I made a middle cave in the aquarium.
Memory of the Eye - IIAC 2023 #05 Cho Jae-Sun / South Korea

We first experience nature visually. This artwork stemmed from that visual inspiration, naturally prompting thoughts on how nature perceives us through its own visual lens. How will we appear to nature? We hope that we and nature will discover each other's beauty and cherish it.
Gerandong Cave - IIAC 2023 #06 Acho Choky / Indonesia

Alhamdulillah.thank you to the IIAC contest organizers & all the judges who have judged them very well. The tank theme concept that I created this year was from my own inspiration & imagination. Even though it's not optimal, I'm very satisfied with the results of this year's ranking. Thank you IIAC, the judges & all my friends and team who always provide support. Always success IIAC, I'm looking forward to the next contest in 2024 greetings.
Towering Ancient Trees - IIAC 2023 #07 Guan Liwei / China

Interesting angles using the wood for depth and hillside effect, nice path running through the hardscpe.
Sunken Woods - IIAC 2023 #08 Luis Cardoso / Portugal

I tried to do a colorfull layout with underwater feeling, combining bold woods and a wide variety of plants, like the title says, the main idea is to look at big sunken woods aged by the time and covered with plants.
Sound of Silence - IIAC 2023 #09 Efrain Sequera / Spain

In this work I have tried to create something powerful but at the same time transmits serenity. A strong contrast that captivates the viewer. I hope I achieved it and that you enjoy that feeling. The inspiration is taken from a large tree with strong roots in a cloud forest environment.
Twilight - IIAC 2023 #10 Pham Duc Manh / Vietnam

The Rotala rotundifolia on the background is colorful and the transferring from green to red is very attractive. The construction of flaky sedimentary rock is also very well-balanced.
KIAC 2025 Announcement: Important Changes

To accommodate more participants, this year's KIAC will open later than last year. The competition schedule has been finalized, and we are in the process of selecting judges.
Rhythmical Breeze - IIAC 2023 #11 Jeon Hyoungjoo / South Korea

First of all, I am happy to be able to continue participating in the IIAC contest.
Hug - IIAC 2023 #12 Yoon Taegi / South Korea

I didn't draw an image, but created it with the feeling of surrounding myself with the theme of nature's generosity, acceptance, and tolerance. As the title suggests, the theme is "Nature that Hugs." Thank you very much
