Join us in celebrating with friends from around the globe!
After being on hiatus since 2019, the grand event that used to conclude the IAPLC, known as the "Nature Aquarium Party," is returning due to popular demand. Rebranded as the "IAPLC Award Ceremony," it will now be held in Niigata.
The event is scheduled for two days: November 23 (Sat) and November 24 (Sun), 2024.

In addition to the IAPLC 2024 awards ceremony, a variety of activities are planned for the second day at ADA headquarters, including a tour of the NA Gallery and exclusive merchandise sales. It’s a lively gathering where aquatic plant layout enthusiasts from across the globe come together.
