Monthly Wapiti Talk Photo Contest - August 2017

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 08 02, 2017 •  [Post 1]

The August Photo Theme is – "Play em, keep that tip up, don't horse em in". Post up a photo of a fishing themed moment.
Rules:

1. One photo submission allowed per month, per member (yep, MODs may enter a photo also).
2. Photo must relate to the monthly theme (or risk being disqualified).
3. Do not use photo editing software to enhance your photo. Just post the photo as it was taken with your camera, smart phone, trail cam, etc. You may have to resize some photos so they are accepted by the forum software.
4. You may use older photos you have on hand, but, do not submit a photo that has won a previous WT photo contest.
5. Any WT member may enter a photo they have taken or star in.
6. Judging – WT members will vote on monthly photo submissions.
7. Contest period will normally end the last day of the month.
8. Winner must contact WapitiTalk1 via PM and provide mailing address for prize (your prize may be sent directly from a WT sponsor or from RJ).
9. Prizes will vary from month to month.

* At the end of the year, all monthly contest winners will be automatically entered into a Photo of the Year Contest.

The best photo (as voted by the WT members) for August 2017 will receive an Alpine Touch product (seasoning or country style BBQ sauce).

I guess I should not have made fun of Tigger and his desire to learn photo shopping. I could use that skill right now. I would take a picture of my brother with his salmon and replace him with Miss America in her bikini. I need some advantage on these photo contests.

I think you are right RJ. It doesn't look like August will be my month either.

This was a tough call as I have a bunch of good pictures of my kids catching fish. But I always liked this one. This is my daughter who was learning how to use a baitcaster for the very first time and before long she had it down pretty good. She was then rewarded for her efforts!
