Cgy_Betta_Guy Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 too bad there doesnt seem to be any pics on the site. Good thing they are compiling the pictures into a booklet for sale around the world. :boxed: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettaVishVish Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 yeah I was hoping to see the pictures. Well.. at least I got to see the grand prize's pictures. Is there any event like this in Canada or US? will be nice to see the show case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evolution Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Canada had 6 applications and the US had 42. Some of these layouts are sick! http://en.iaplc.com/about/gp_works.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolution Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 I believe it is hard for north americans to obtain such mastery in anything, simply because we are not taught the priciples of art and mastery. It also has a lot to do with our differences in religions. North americas master is a old man with a beard and theirs is Nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaykit Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) Its pretty cool to see what people can do with a planted layout. I like some of the layouts but others i find are just too over the top trying to create some non-aquatic location in a layout.

BettaVishVish Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 It is very cool. maybe someone in this forum needs to come up with a drawing design, complete with the layout and type of plants etc. Whoever win the best design will have the opportunity to build it for free . Now.. we need a sponsor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
