‘The Essence of Carp Fishing in North America’

CAG members are invited to submit photographs that capture what is unique and exciting about carp fishing in North America.

Each month the winner will receive a special prize plus recognition for two runners up.

The photos do not have to be of someone holding a fish (this is NOT a Trophy fish competition) but they should be recognizable as being related to carp or buffalo fishing in North America and should reflect the capture of a special moment.

The ‘essence’ of carp fishing in North America might memorialize a remarkable scale pattern, someone’s first carp, a group of friends fishing together, a spectacular sunset, time of year or perhaps a dramatic background or landscape.

The judges will be fellow members who should pay particular attention to the subject matter and composition and not just the photographic or editing skills. In the event of a tie or any disputes the CAG BOD will be the final arbitrator.

Each month we’ll announce a winner and Award a prize or voucher (worth $100)  with the winning photo appearing in a forthcoming NACA magazine as well as the CAG Forum Site and Facebook page. The top 3 will also receive CAG Medals.

The Rules:

The entrant must be a Full CAG Member & the owner of any copyright to the photograph.

An entrant may submit a maximum of TWO photos only in each month.

The photograph must have been taken in the submission month (final date for submissions is 24 hours after the end of each month)

All fish photos must demonstrate appropriate carp care and catch & release

Each submission must include the following details:

1.       The type of device (e.g. camera or phone) used.

2.       The date the photo was taken.

3.       Location (nearest Town and State).

4.       Your Name

5.       Photo Title (e.g. Mirror Magic, Waiting for the Bite etc. ) 

Entries should be submitted to the “CAG Essence of Carping Competition” under the appropriate "Month" below.

Entrants agree that CAG may use or display a submitted image on the CAG website, Social Media such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube and the North American Carp Angler magazine in online or printed formats.
