Despite global challenges, KIAC 2025 received a total of 327 entries from 52 different countries and territories. The number of participants this year has increased by approximately 11% compared to last year, demonstrating the strong growth and ever-increasing passion for aquascaping culture worldwide.
Vietnam Marks a Historic Achievement
The highlight and biggest bright spot of this year's season is the outstanding contribution from the Vietnamese aquascaping community. With 46 entries, Vietnam has excellently topped the list of participating nations, becoming the country with the largest number of contestants at KIAC 2025.
This impressive achievement helped Vietnam surpass other countries with strong aquascaping traditions such as Korea (32), Indonesia (32), India (25), and Brazil (22). This not only shows a deep passion but also confirms the talent and continuous creativity of Vietnamese aquascapers on the international stage.
More Than Just a Contest, It's a Festival
KIAC is always known not merely as a fierce competition but also as a festival, where aquascaping artists from around the world have the opportunity to share, learn, and admire each other's unique works of art.
A special point that creates the irresistible appeal of KIAC is the innovation in the judging process. With a team of 11 international, young, and talented judges, the contest promises to bring fresh and groundbreaking perspectives compared to other traditional aquascaping competitions. This combination of experience and youthful energy ensures fairness, modernity, and accurately reflects the developing trends of global aquascaping art.
The organizing committee has expressed sincere gratitude to all sponsors, especially the Special Sponsor LIFE AQUA, and all participants for their valuable contributions to the overall growth of the aquascaping culture.
The Judging Process Begins
Starting tomorrow, the contest will enter the detailed evaluation phase. The 11 judges we just mentioned will begin the serious selection process to find the Top 50 most excellent works.
The global aquascaping community is waiting in anticipation. The final results of the KIAC 2025 contest will be officially announced on December 13th via the event's YouTube channel.
Thank you very much for the companionship and participation of everyone.
