The Holland Betta Show 2012 was a big success! In total 308 show bettas were entered by 36 breeders from 7 European countries (Czech Republic (4x), France (1x), Germany (11x), Italy (7x), Slovakia (1x), Switzerland (2x), and The Netherlands (10x)). We were extremely happy to welcome so many members of our forum and to meet many other (new) betta hobbyists.

Before I continue with the results, I first want to thank the following people without whom this show would not have been possible:
- Toën Feyen for all his help, trust and giving us the opportunity organize this event at the 20th Holland Koi Show.
- Our sponsor ZooMed for their help, trust, support and providing us with several products of their betta-line!
- Domburg Sportprijzen Holland for providing the beautiful awards for the 1st placed fish of each show class and the promotional products.
- The Bettas4all Judging Team: Joep van Esch (Joepmaster; The Netherlands), Michel Stokkelaar (Nightshift; The Netherlands), Salvatore Unali (Totto; Germany), Boris Weber-Schwartz (Boris; Germany), Axel Eywill (Dino47; Germany), Claus-Peter Groβe (Darkman0815; Germany), James King (Paradox_error; Australia/Czech Republic) and Eugenio Fornasiero (Verdeblubetta; Italy).
- Annemiek van Driel & Arie de Koning for coordinating the groceries in order to provide us with food and drinks at breakfast and the amazing BBQs.
- All the breeders who have trusted us with their showfish.
- Tomas Chuda and Stefan Kruger who did an excellent job photographing the winning fish.
- All the visitors who took the time to visit our show.

Last but not least I especially would like to thank all my collegues of the Bettas4all Show Team 2012: Jolanda and Gerrit Wisseborn, Ilse Hoekstra, Michel Stokkelaar, Michiel van Bemmel, Arie de Koning and Annemiek van Driel, Jamie King and Stefan Kruger.
