Best Photo Competition , January 2009, sponsored by Petewex

#1 Post by somedose »

Right lads, I've seen this done on another website and thought it was a good idea so I don't see why it couldn't work here. Why don't we have a "Best Photo" competition? Not only pictures of fish, but of anything related to going fishing? The date for submitting entries will be the 31st of January and then we will vote on it. Good idea?

<jd> Petewex has kindly offered to frame the best photo</jd>
Species 2010 - Cod

That's a great idea - anyone here own a tackle shop?! :wink: What if (if it was okay with the admin's) that the picture could be used as the main picture on the website's home page also? Just a thought.

Also the pictures so far are very good - keep it up
