CAG members are invited to submit photographs that capture what is unique and exciting about carp fishing in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each month the winner will receive a special prize plus recognition for two runners up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u2018essence\u2019 of carp fishing in North America might memorialize a remarkable scale pattern, someone\u2019s first carp, a group of friends fishing together, a spectacular sunset, time of year or perhaps a dramatic background or landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each month we\u2019ll announce a winner and Award a prize or voucher (worth $100)<\/strong> 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Rules:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The entrant must be a Full CAG Member & the owner of any copyright to the photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An entrant may submit a maximum of TWO photos only in each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The photograph must have been taken in the submission month (final date for submissions is 24 hours after the end of each month)<\/p>\n\n\n\n All fish photos must demonstrate appropriate carp care and catch & release<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each submission must include the following details:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. The type of device (e.g. camera or phone) used. Entries should be submitted to the \u201cCAG Essence of Carping Competition\u201d under the appropriate \u201cMonth\u201d below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Entrants agree that CAG may use or display a submitted photo on the CAG website and Social Media resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" CAG members are invited to submit photographs that capture what is unique and exciting about carp fishing in North America.
