Time to start the first WaveSpin Reel fishing picture contest of 2012 on GreatLakesBass.com. This Wavespin Reel Picture Contest 2012 #1 starts Saturday, 4/28/2012 with the Michigan Bass catch and release opener, and runs for 6 weeks until 11:59PM Friday June 8, 2012. As soon as contest 1 is over, we'll start a new contest 2 for the next 6 weeks.This is your chance to show off your pictures and win a brand new WaveSpin Reel of your choice from any on their website.
Upload a picture to the GreatLakesBass.com Image Gallery through June 8, 2012. You can upload to a generic category or to your personal MyGallery member picture gallery.1
After you upload your new picture to the Image Gallery, copy the 'BB Medium Image Code' for that picture and come back here to paste the code into a post below within this contest thread stating that you are entering that picture into this WaveSpin Reel Contest 2012 #1. Don't start a new thread! Paste it into this post thread.
How to Win
The winner will be chosen for the picture entered in this thread that gets the most and highest average ratings in the picture gallery with most number of views being the tiebreaker. The 'BB Medium Image Code' will display your picture here and allow members to click the picture and go right to the image gallery location where they can look at, comment on and rate your picture. You will probably want to add to your post here some information about your picture and why members would want to go rate it to try to get as many ratings as you can.
Additional Information
Any member can rate a picture whether they are personally eligible to upload their own pictures or not. You can only rate any one picture one time. You cannot rate your own picture. You can also use other methods to ask members to visit your picture on the image gallery and rate it such as getting other people to join GreatLakesBass.com and have them go to your picture and rate it. Don't PM a bunch of members unsolicited to ask them but you can contact your friends on the forum and ask them to rate your picture. Send them to this thread and ask them to click on your picture to rate it. You can also share your picture through facebook, twitter and other online social links through the AddThis buttons below each picture! Ties not decided by the criteria above will be decided by the person who entered their picture in this contest thread first.
You can enter more than one picture. The earlier you enter, the higher you are in this thread and the more time you have to get rating. Members, please check out this thread. Click on and rate pictures that you like. Your ratings are confidential.
The winner will visit the WaveSpin Reel website (http://www.wavespinreel.com/) and tell me which reel they want. WaveSpin will ship the brand new free fishing reel to the winner! Simple and easy as that! Enter away and WIN! Good luck!
1 Not all members are automatically eligible to use the GreatLakesBass.com Image Gallery though there are numerous options for any member to become eligible quickly and easily. See the eligibility qualifications (http://www.greatlakesbass.com/forum/index.php?topic=10336.0) and related information on the General Questions support forum (http://www.greatlakesbass.com/forum/index.php?topic=10336.0).
This is an example of the 'BB Medium Image Code' that will show your picture and allow people to click on it, view it and rate it (members only).

Going to be a tough one this time with the cute pictures. Make sure you share them so other people will rate them and see some stuff we all need to see more of - kids fishing!

Wow! I just noticed that I put the wrong date on the original post for the first contest end date as May 8. That is obviously not 6 weeks! And I did that during the evening too. Sorry about that. The real end date for the 1st 2012 WaveSpin Reel picture contest is June 8, 2012 11:59PM.
Keep entering those pictures and share them so people will rate them! The kids are cute but there are plenty of anglers who just love a great outdoors fishing picture so give it a try and win a FREE WaveSpin Reel!
