How do I enter?!
It's REALLY easy. Take a photo of your catch on a set of scales with your dive watch or the daily newspaper next to it (to prove the date) and upload it to the Adreno Facebook pageASAP. That's it!
What other categories should I think about?
Don't forget that there are over 20 prize categories. Some other categories you should consider entering include:
Most meritorious miscellaneous senior and junior: just enter ANY fish by weighing it in (like normal) and you could win a set of DiveR fins
Best Photo: weigh your fish in, and get a nice picture of it too and you could win a GoPro2!
Best video: catch all of the fish you have weighed in on film, put together a clip and you could win a GoPro2!
Biggest Crayfish: The weight to beat currently is 2.7kg
UPDATE
The competition currently has 25 competitors in the opens category, and 3 entrants in the juniors category. The current winner has only weighed in THREE species - you've still got until the end of the year to beat this and take home some MASSIVE prizes.
What are you waiting for?? You've got to be in it to win it and the competition is still anyone's for the taking....
