Oh yes, we do! It’s been a crazy, but fun few months processing and organizing all the amazing entries for our first-ever Water Artisans of the Year contest. There certainly is tremendous talent out there. It goes without saying — you guys are GOOD!

We’ve dedicated most of this issue to highlight the winners. Hopefully these beautiful projects will inspire you as pond season is in full swing. If you know any of the winners, be sure to congratulate them.

 I’d like to say a special thanks to Ed, Kelly, Benjamin, Mike, Dave, Rick and Jason — our Water Artisans of the Year judges — for donating their time to this year’s contest.

As pond season kicks off, be sure to keep an eye out for projects that go above and beyond the mainstream. Chances are, they could be eligible candidates for next year’s Water Artisans of the Year contest.

Stay tuned — we’ll release more details about it very soon.

Happy PONDering!
