The November competition is now closed, many thanks to all of those who submitted pieces for inclusion which have made for a highly entertaining month of reading. The last of the November entries will be posted on the site tomorrow and all FishingMagic members will have a chance to choose their favourite in a poll to be staged week commencing 05 December; with the editor’s decision to be made at the end of the same week.
The December competition is now open for business so quills, pens and keyboards at the ready please and if you want to be festive we shall be happy to time publication accordingly!
A reminder:
The competition runs from November 2011 to May 2012 inclusive, is open to anyone, irrespective of whether or not they have had features published on FishingMagic before; all we ask is that entrants are not regular writing contributors to the national angling media.
Features may be on any angling topic, fiction or non-fiction, humorous or serious, technical or story-based and on any angling discipline: coarse, sea or game.
Submissions should ideally be from 1,000 to 2,500 words in length and supplied as a Word document accompanied (if relevant) by four to eight JPG images to illustrate the words. It is hoped that grammar, spelling and punctuation will be of a reasonable standard but all will be corrected, if required, prior to publication on the site.
There is no limit to the number of features which entrants may submit per month and all features deemed by the FishingMagic Editor to be of an appropriate standard will be published in full.
At the end of each month FishingMagic readers will be invited to vote and comment on all of the entries and a monthly winner will be selected by the FishingMagic Editor, whose decision is final.
Each monthly winner will receive a bait pack worth £46 from Chapel Baits which will include: soft hookbaits, groundbait, dumbells and glugs from their extensive range.
At the end of the competition all monthly winners will go into a final judging and the overall winner will win a 12 month sponsorship by Chapel Baits (Full terms and conditions to be advised separately).
Submissions should be sent via e-mail to: editor@fishingmagic.com
