About

The Redmap Fisher Photo Competition is a celebration of the wonderful moments and memories collected by fishers in pursuit of their catch - from the catch itself, to the company shared and scenery experienced along the way. As we head toward summer and the weather warms up, our Fisher Photo Competition is a great opportunity to share fishing memories that will boost excitement for upcoming adventures on the water.  

The Redmap Team invites fishers to submit their favourite photos to one, or all, of our three great categories, with generous prizes on offer. In each category prizes will be awarded to the winners of the People's Choice Award and Redmap's Choice Award – that’s a total of six prizes up for grabs!

2. Fishing and Family

There’s nothing quite like sharing the fun and enjoyment of fishing with family – submit your favourite family fishing photo.

3. Ahh the Serenity

It’s not always about landing the big one, fishing also takes us to some of the most scenic locations nature has to offer – submit your best photo that combines fishing and scenery.
