Photo competition rules:
Entrants may submit as many photos as they wish. Images must relate to fly fishing – images of dead fish will not be considered. Sportfish are seeking pin sharp high resolution images (over 5MB) portraying the wonder of fly-fishing suitable for printing either in a landscape or portrait format.
1. Entries must be colour. To be considered the original image must be at least 5 mb. Initially a copy of the photo must be submitted in the FlyForums Gallery and must not be larger than 100kb.
2. Photographer’s warrant to Sportfish that they own the work submitted, that the whole copyright is vested in them or, if the copyright belongs to a third party such as an agency, that the photographer has the right to submit the work free of encumbrances or restrictions and that if the work was commissioned for private and domestic purposes, it is submitted with the permission of the person or organisation who commissioned it.
3. Warrant to Sportfish that model release forms (where appropriate) have been obtained from persons featured in their submitted images for all sales, marketing, educational and publicity uses and that no additional releases are required in respect of names, trademarks, designs or works of art depicted in the work.
4. Photographers agree that Sportfish and Fish and Fly Ltd may reproduce and/or license the reproduction of any entries submitted without any payment to the photographer, model or third party for any sales, marketing, educational and publicity use on and in all media worldwide including catalogues, posters and the internet.

7. Reasonable efforts will be made to notify all photographers as to whether their photograph has been short-listed. Fish and Fly Ltd will announce the winner and runners up on the FlyForums and the winner will be contacted via email. It is the photographers’ responsibility to check on the FlyForums announcement if he/she is a runner up or winner.
