Judges for the normal DA contest:


Stock about fish :
Good stock about fish is hard to find so…

In my stock you will find tons of photo's of fishes. Most of these photo's are taken by Robert van Mosseveld. a recognized photographer who's photo's are often used in magazines about aquaristic world. So they are excellent stuff. The other photo's comes from members of the aquariumclub that hold this exhibition. I have full permission to put them in my stock and the people joining the contest can use them in commercial an non- commercial way. Which is very kind of the photographers to offer I have a special permissi on from them to add them in my stock, and a permission for every body using it and willing to put it up as print to do so.
Just one thing, also credit the photographers when you use a photo.
and lots more to come also reptiles which one part i will have to make with my eyes closed ---Spiders

examples of what you can do ( Do not copy them  any piece that resembles to much at these and others  they will not get in the exhibition part ) :
Be original and creative.

Be Original, be creative. Making something with a fish or reptile in the middle of attention of a manipulation is hard . You can use models but make sure that every body see that its about the aquaristic world
Surreal will be easy but dare to do something unusual because the judges are different ages and have different tastes you never know you will  get picked

Spread the word about the contest, the more people entering , because you never know what will comes from it. Belgium is relativly new to digital art, and its a great way to show what can be done with photoshop and painshoppro and all the other programs. For photographers its your oppertunity to take shots of reptiles and fish that aren't kept in an aquarium of that lives in the free world.
