NWC Fish Image of the Year 2006 - Competition

[Julian Grattidge]

OK all, as a bit of fun I thought we’d get a couple of competitions going on NWC.

The first is for the best image of a carp taken during 2006. Rules;

• The image must have been taken between Jan 1st 2006 – December 31st 2006
• Each entrant can post a maximum of FIVE images
• Please ensure any images shown or linked to on the thread are NO LARGER THAN 500 PIXELS WIDE - any massive images will be deleted.
• Fish can be from any location, home or abroad
• Image must be either of yourself with a fish, or a picture you have taken of somebody else with a fish (If you are using an image taken by somebody else – please ensure you have their permission to post it)
• Please note that we are looking for the best *image*. By this we don’t mean that it has to be technically perfect, but we are looking for a well proportioned shot that is in focus and is well framed. Ideally it needs to show off what carping is all about, either through the visual impact of the fish itself or just in terms of capturing the moment – it’s not just about the biggest fish
• You can enter any image previously posted on NWC, as long as it meets the above criteria
• Each image submitted needs to have a title and brief text explaining the moment, or explaining why it is special to you – this should be posted directly under the image or within the same post
• After the comp closes I will appoint impartial judges to pick 1st, 2nd and 3rd winners – all of whom will receive prizes
• Judges decision will be final

Please post your entries below – they don’t all need to be on the same post so you have plenty of time to choose your best images from 2006.

Good Luck!
