436 entries from 54 countries! 🌎

Thank you to everyone who shared their work with the 2026 AGA International Aquascaping Contest. Seeing so many aquascapers from around the world come together is one of the joys of this contest, and we’re grateful to everyone who made this year possible.

Next, we’ll introduce the judging panel for each category. These are the people who will carefully review this year’s entries, and we look forward to sharing the results on November 7!

Don’t miss your chance to enter this year’s AGAIAC. 🌿

The deadline is coming up soon, so if you’ve been meaning to submit, now’s the time to wrap up those final details and get your entry in.

We know how this part goes. Final trims, last-minute cleanups, chasing that one stubborn stem, wiping the glass again, adjusting the hardscape by half an inch, and taking way more photos than you planned to get the fish in that perfect spot. Know you’re definitely not alone, in the last minute scramble for the final shot.

Make sure to get those entries in! We can’t wait to see what everyone has created this year.

Submissions close October 4th, at 11:59pm
