2007 Fly Tyer of the Year Contest I am very excited to announce the details of the 2007 Fly Tier of the Year Contest! There are a few changes from last year's contest. The deadline for the contest this year is October 31st instead of the traditional December 31st. Two reasons for this. Many people said they didn't have time to tie flies for the contest because of the holidays late in the year plus it would be nice to actually have the voting before the end of the year. Hopefully I can get all of the flies photographed and the voting setup with my very busy schedule during this time. In the past couple of years I have had everybody submit forms along with their submissions containing both personal information(name, address, etc) plus a sheet containing the material list for each fly. This year the form for personal information stays the same but the pattern information can now be uploaded through a form on the website. By not having to personally type each pattern to put them on the website(I just don't have the time), this form will allow me to automatically associate the pattern info with the proper fly and will make things much easier. More details can be found at the main contest page: http://www.flytyingforum.com/contest/ For more information including the official rules, guidelines and categories please visit: http://www.flytyingforum.com/contest Prizes will be announced as I secure them.
