INTERNATIONAL BALKAN AQUASCAPING CONTEST

[Raven]

First of all, I think it is a very good move to organize an Inter-Balkan aquascaping contest and I really congratulate the Bulgarian aquatic community for doing that.
And yes, it is only a hobby that should unite people no matter religion and political views.

But the term International in your contest, means that the naming dispute between our country and the neighbouring fYROM creates some existing problems in such a competition.

Since the naming dispute continues and the 2 countries have not came into a mutual solution, it is so decided by the major international organizations that in international relationships, contests, athletic games atc. the name fYROM is to be used , instead of "Republic of Macedonia".


The greatest problem, Greek Aquascapers from Macedonia will face, is that of their national definition.
I mean that this can create tons of problems and confusion as to the identity of Greek Macedonians. If in the final results of the competition, fYROM members will referred as "Macedonians", then what are the Greek Macedonians that took part into this competition ??

Since nowhere in the contest's official site ,the countries names are to be mentioned, it seems that there is no guaranty for the Greek contestants,that the Macedonian problem will not rise , during the competition.

If the organizers could fix this problem, I would be more than glad to send my aquascapes, and I am pretty certain that many Greek aquascapers feel the same like me and will participate with great joy.

I totally agree with Raven and I would be very glad to participate in this competition if the official terms (country names e.t.c) will be upheld.

The UN (http://www.un.org/en/members/index.shtml) and NATO (http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/51288.htm) organisations are using the name f.Y.R.O.M. until the dispute between the two countries is solved.

A very smart and fair solution !

If I understand correctly, all participants will be shown in the official ranking and in the main siite of the contest, only by name and flag .
