Each year MASNA members nominate individuals who have contributed to the hobby for the MASNA Aquarist of the Year award. The award is presented at MACNA, during the Saturday banquet. Last years winner, Rich Ross, joined a renowned group of authors, speakers, breeders and reefing contributors.
There are only 6 days left to nominate an individual you feel has contributed to the hobby. Nominations must be in by June 30th on the MASNA website at http://masna.org/masna-programs/aquarist-of-the-year/. If you aren’t a MASNA member, join now and be entered to win a prize during MASNA’s Summer Membership Drive.
The Aquarist of the Year nominees are reviewed by a panel of previous MASNA award winners who ultimately select the winner. The results are kept confidential till MACNA 2015, which is being held this year in Washington D.C.
How many names do you recognize on the list below? Who do you think is missing from this list? Now it is your chance to nominate the person who has impacted you the most and advanced your enjoyment of the hobby.
