The 2017 Biggest Blue Crab Contest is here! The entry has changed to $10 this year.
What has changed are the dates (beginning May 1st instead of April 1st) and that we will have only a division for recreational crabbers. We simply did not receive enough entries from Commercial Crabbers last year. There will be a first, 2nd and 3rd place price for recs. The amount of the awards depends on how many people enter.
If there are enough entrants to have excess money to cover Rich's expenses for the awards, additional moneys will then be distributed to the winners in a top prize down manner. Alternatively, if Rich isn't up to doing awards, the total pot will be split among the winners as it was this year.
The rules of the contest remain unchanged from previous years. To refresh everyone's memory, they are listed below.
#1 All entries must be postmarked by May 1st. We have a Paypal/Credit Card option so no late entries will be accepted.
#2 Contest starts May 1st and ends DEC 1st
#3 MUST be alive and freshly caught. No exceptions.
#4 Must be a MALE Blue crab.
#5 Must summit a CLEAR picture with a ruler to verify the size in this subforum.
#6 In case of a TIE the earliest or first picture summited will be the winner.
