A Gallery of Underwater Masterpieces

The Nature Aquarium gallery was the centerpiece of the event, showcasing an array of meticulously crafted aquascapes. Each tank was a unique work of art, demonstrating the skill and creativity of the aquascapers. From serene... to tranquil forests, these underwater landscapes were truly breathtaking.

A Warm and Welcoming Awards Ceremony

The awards ceremony was a heartwarming affair, filled with camaraderie and celebration. Aquascapers had the opportunity to network, share their experiences, and congratulate each other. However, some attendees expressed disappointment at the absence of a flag-raising ceremony for the first, second, and third-place winners. This tradition is often considered an integral part of such events and serves as a symbolic recognition of the winners' achievements.

Areas for Improvement

While the event was undoubtedly a success, there were a few areas where improvements could be made. The seating arrangement for the judges was less than ideal, as they were often obscured from view when providing their commentary. This made it difficult for the audience to fully engage with the judging process.

Additionally, the livestream of the event received mixed reviews. With participants from various countries, the lack of simultaneous interpretation or subtitles made it challenging for viewers to follow the discussions.

Conclusion

The Nature Aquarium Party 2024 was a resounding success, showcasing the best of the aquatic world. However, there is always room for improvement. By addressing the concerns raised about the awards ceremony, judge seating, and livestream, the organizers can ensure that future events are even more enjoyable and informative for all participants.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Memory of the Eye - IIAC 2023 #05 Cho Jae-Sun / South Korea
