By placing second in the overall standings of the Calgary Aquarium Society's 2005 jar show competition, she has won one of these (which she will get just as soon as I have her new address):

Congratulations!! Way to go! Any chance of seeing a pic of the fish? Hint hint.

It was actually many fishes....each month at our meetings (except December) we have a jar show with 2-4 categories in which members can enter fish...points are awarded on placing in each category, year-end prizes are based on cumulative points....so Menagerie's placing is based on about 10-15 fish shown throughout the season. We award prizes for overall placings 1st through 5th.

I bet all were gorgeous fish!

Thank you! That's kind of scary since I competed January through April

We just had very few competitors that entered more than 4-5 entries each, all year long....so plenty of people in the 3rd through 15th placings.
