Betta Show Kassel 2012
As a part of the Annual Meeting of the European Anabantoid Club / study group of the labyrinth fish of the VDA in 2012 the Betta Competition takes place this year in the restaurant-hotel Lindenhof, Eschebergstraße 19, 34128 Kassel, Germany, under the motto
20 years EAC / AKL
Celebrate with us!
22. to 24. June 2012
(http://www.kampffischfreunde.de/images/stories/Kassel2012/Plakat-deu.jpg)
Admission free!
Kassel is geographically well located to the north of Hessen, near the autobahn (freeway) A7, A44 and A49, that is pretty much in the middle of Germany and thus to achieve pretty good also of the neighbouring European countries.
Expected are between 200 and 300 betta from many European countries and Asia.
In addition to the normally known classes for the Betta splendens this time there will be some additional classes.
Because we have more space in Kassel and therefore have the potential, we have decided to
add three classes of art.
Class G1. PHOTOGRAPHY:
This classification is open to film entries, including still photography,
digital or video taping or motion picture exhibits. However, the entries
are judged on their artistic representation of the Betta, not on
educational content.
The photographic setting must not reveal the exhibitor's identity or the
work will be disqualified. Placing a small piece of paper over any
signature or initials can conceal the identity. Do not use tape if it can
damage the item.
Special Requirements
Betta theme is required. The exhibitor is responsible for
all display arrangements including any needed stands,
lighting, projection devices and so forth.
Class G2. ILLUSTRATION:
This category is specifically for oil, acrylic or watercolour paintings;
pen and ink; pencil or chalk drawings, and other such illustrations.
Special Requirements
Betta theme is required. The exhibitor is responsible for any special
display requirements such as stands or lights.
If the artist has signed or initialled the exhibit on the display side, the
show committee must conceal the signature/initials or the work will be
disqualified.
Class G3. CRAFT:
This unique classification serves for the exhibition of all other
types of work not permitted in the previous two classifications. Some
typical inclusions might be: figurines of clay, glass, metal or wood;
leatherwork items; needlework items, manuscripts, etc.
An entry may be disqualified only if it should be in the previous two
classifications, the identify of the exhibitor is revealed, or the exhibitor
is not also the creator or artist.
Special Requirements
Betta theme is required. As in the other two classes, the exhibitor is
responsible for any display requirements.
We think that this certainly will bring some very interesting artistic results to light, maybe even hidden or hitherto unsuspected talents.
All participants or visitors who are interested in art should arrive a few days earlier or stay a few days longer and visit the " documenta (http://d13.documenta.de/de/) ". The documenta is one of the most respected and biggest exhibitions of contemporary art worldwide. Every five years, it attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors from all around the world into the city of Kassel.
Definitely there will be something attractive for everyone. Information about the documenta can be found by the link.
For more information about the program, lectures and events, as well as accommodation and standards can be found under www.kampffischfreunde.de (http://www.kampffischfreunde.de) and www.aklabyrinthfische-eac.eu (http://www.aklabyrinthfische-eac.eu/)
We look forward to many participants and visitors and we hope a few Italien ;)
The Kampffischfreunde
Thanks for sharing Peter! Hope that Eugenio will move in those days so i can help him and come to Kassel too :D
Thanks Peter. I visited documenta X and Kassel fifteen years ago, while I was in Goettingen for an international conference. I remember both Kassel and Goettingen as wonderful, friendly towns. Both documenta and the exhibition area itself, with the park, were impressive. I hope Roberto and Eugenio can bring a piece of AIB to your show. :cheer:
Sorry, I meant to say Goettingen, not Freiburg which is in a completely different region (and a different story)

I heared of a lot of Ideas for these classes......it will be interesting. Are there any Ideas from Italien? B)
I want those contact lenses :woohoo: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Wow! Very nice program, especially the speaches. We have a collection of articles on wild bettas by Horst Linke, published in Italy some years ago.
And unimaculata is a very beloved betta, here in AIB.
The artistic categories are a good idea, too ;)
Unfortunately, there was a change in the conference.
Les Barkes from United Kingdom can not come.
As a replacement the President of EAC found Mr. Atison Phumchoosri and Prof. Bhinyo Panjipan for the lecture on Saturday at 13:30 clock.

In 2 weeks maybe i can send some females. No male is good enough :unsure:

Until now there is now entry by an Italien Breeder :(
@ Roberto
Do you know if we will have some betta of Italien Breeders at Kassel?
I hope so much.
Many Greetings from Germany
Peter
Peter, we tried to organize a group shipment, but we had another small show last weekend, i see if we can handle a "last minute" shipment :/
Penso sia troppo tardi giusto?
Voi avete mandato qualcosa?
Marco
Si è tardi :( Io non sono riuscito con i tempi purtroppo :(
Io mi sarei accollato se qualcuno avesse organizzato il pacco. Questa volta proprio non sono riuscito a farlo, avrei avuto solo 2-3 pesci.
Anchio avrei avuto solo un pescetto.
Sarà per la prossima volta.
Marco
Hello all,
too bad that it did not work out with the package.
There are reported 235 fish for the judging.
I hope now that many Italians in Friedrichshafen 2013 will participate again.
Many Greetings from Germany to Italy.
Peter
Hi Peter!
we're sorry, but we had few fishes and small time to organize it, plus shipping costs are really high :(
We'll definitely come again to Friedrichshafen, also if we have to sleep again in the car with penguins and polar bears :P :)
Have a great show in Kassel and say hi to all the crew from Italy!
:laugh:
Thanks so much
Enjoy the show and for sure we will be there next time ;)
