The 2025 "Great Wall Cup" International Landscape Competition (CIAC) has three categories: Waterscape Group, Most Beautiful Aquatic Plants Group, and Best Biological Configuration Group.

The competition is divided into two stages: preliminary selection and scoring. The transcripts are for works that have passed the preliminary selection. You can log in to the registration system:

https://member.chgie.com/

To check the detailed scores on the transcript, mainland Chinese athletes should use their registered mobile phone number, while non-mainland Chinese athletes should switch to the English version and log in using their registered email address.

Works not included on the transcripts have failed the preliminary selection process. Keep up the good work next year!

The CIAC submission and scoring system is independently developed by Great Wall. Judges only see relevant information about the entries and complete their scoring within the system, which automatically calculates scores and rankings. The final score is determined by the judges.

The results of this selection will be released in stages - the first round of announcement is scheduled for October 20, and the list of the top 30 outstanding works will be jointly released by the Great Wall Pet Show (CIPS) and the Aquarium Landscape Branch of the China Fisheries Association.

    Amidst the "earthquake" named Vietnam at KIAC 2025, the work "Reflection" by Aquascaper Long Tran Hoang emerges as a majestic yet subtle note.

The shadows of the protruding stones look like the entrance to a cave, adding variety to the aquascape.
