Submitting an entry fish: The contest will be judged on LENGTH OF FISH. Place fish onto a flat surface, with a rigid measuring device placed above the fish in the photo with the tip of the measuring device starting at the nose of the fish, mouth closed.
Photo Quality: Photos must show clearly the fish and the inch measurements. Photo must be taken at a straight on angle (90 degrees from fish), No side shots, must have entire fish in the photo.

Disqualification: Photos can be DQ’d if the photo is of poor quality, If ruler measurements are not readable, or if it is believed that the photo has been altered. Photo DQ’s only mean the photo isn’t of quality to judge confidently, or the fish was not positioned correctly. Photo DQ’s do not disqualify you from the contest. There are any number of reasons a photo might not make the cut, make sure your photos are as good as can be. If you submit an altered photo and the judges determine that it has been modified with the intent to cheat the contest that member will be disqualified from the entire contest, and will not be allowed to participate in future events.
