Category Selection

Please select the category that matches the actual water volume of your aquarium at the time the final photograph was taken.

The water volume is determined by the water level visible in the final image and can be calculated using the following formula:

(Length × Width × Water Height) ÷ 1000 = Liters

All measurements should be entered in centimeters. The resulting volume determines the category for your entry. Once you are ready, complete the submission form below:

Nano – 0 to 30 Liters

Small – 31 to 60 Liters

Medium – 61 to 100 Liters

Large – 101 to 200 Liters

X-Large – 201 to 300 Liters
