FISHING WRITERS TRY FOR ALASKAN TRIP No Rod Required |
|
March 17, 2008 |
With the recent explosion in fishing media as seen through the eyes of film makers such as those shown in AEG Media’s tour film titled Fly Fishing Film Tour 2008, the world of anglers looking for a place to tell, show and share their hard earned angling experience is on the rise. Such an address has been developed online and now picking up a prize for fishing prose only sweetens the memories. With computers bulging at the seams, those fishing trip photos now have a home as well as those stories friends tire of. A completely new audience awaits at the 1st Annual Amateur Fishing Prose contest starting on March 15, 2008 running through April 15th, 2008. Sponsored by the online fishing magazine, Fish n Clips Magazine, an Alaskan Float Fishing trip into the bush is the top prize followed by a Temple Fork Outfitters fishing rod with a $100 gift certificate at the 3rd place winner’s local fishing shop.
This online event will provide the fishing enthusiast a venue to experience the world of travel writing within an amateur arena. A new generation of anglers is on the rise as evident from the 125 US venues on AEG’s film tour 2008 up from only 30 plus cities in 2007. This new angler carries additional tools along with the standard rod and reel. The compact video and digital photo cameras are packed right along side the tackle box and vest ready to capture the moments of the next adventure. As skill levels with these new tools begin to compete with those of the fishing rod an outlet to display these new skills needs to follow.
Utilizing any of the many video or photo sharing web sites provides a platform for displaying an angler’s latest fishing adventure. They don’t, however, provide a platform designed just for the modern angler encompassing all three media on one site - articles, photos and video. With a personal “Scrapbook” providing complete editing of all uploaded media, any angler’s browser turns into a personal magazine whereby the author controls their content.
With Alaska being one of the most sought after fishing locations in the world and one that provides the rich content for articles, photos and video, a grand prize leading into her remote bush area is what many anglers dream of. Creating prose worthy of such a prize can be as close as one’s keyboard and flare for story telling.
Not the writing type? The 1st Annual Amateur Fishing Prose contest is slated to be followed by an annual photo contest in the fall and an annual video contest each winter.
