Everyone's in it
You don't need to catch anything.
Every Open entry goes into the draw automatically. Blank the whole nine days and you're still in it. Drawn at presentation day, so be there.
Prizes drawn live on the main stage at presentation day, right through the afternoon.

Where the prizes go
Placings are judged on the length of your longest snapper. Prize packs for each placing announced 1 September.
Fish with your mates as a team, or represent your fishing club — you're still in for every individual prize either way. More on the Team & Club Challenges.
The one they're really after
Every competition crowns a winner, but not every competition makes a trophy worth winning. Each championship trophy is a handcrafted fibreglass snapper, individually made and hand painted by taxidermist Ros Farrugia. No two are the same — same as no two winning stories are.
