There are still more details to come as far as speakers go, but we know that you will be pleasantly surprised!!!

As stated before, ALL three of the participants will be featured in a future edition of Reef Hobbyist Magazine! All of you, the attendee's, will have a chance to check out the projects, judge them, and then cast a vote to see who will win the "popular" vote. This will also be the time that the MASC board releases all of the science fair projects to our special judges (Matt Pedersen, Bob Fenner) who will ultimatly decide the grand prize winner. The grand prize winner recieves a FREE trip to MACNA 2011! Hotel provided by our own JontheFB owner of Fathom Aquatics, and the flight will be provided by Aqua Medic of North America! The winner will also recieve free entree to MACNA 2011 and will get to display their winning project in the Reef Hobbyist Magazine MACNA booth!!
