Thanks Mike & DavidR. @flytire We are of course not asking for "passwords" you use everyday in a "digital world" , but for a simple word/ keyword that associates yourself with the fly or flies you send for our contest. It could be just anything... a combination of words, numbers, characters... just add it to other information about yourself enclosed in the package. Cheers, L.

@FlatsRoamer We of course accept saltwater flies to the competition, so feel free to send yours @mikechell You are right. Passwords are mainly used if we would need to check back with the tier on his/her authorship of a particular fly. But they are also used as an additional element to differentiate flies during the judging process, since the jury members are not allowed to see names of the tiers until the final results are verified and names of the flies matched with names of the tiers by the responsible persons in the Fishing Association of Slovenia, which are not jury members... This is how we run this competition for decades and eliminate any potential bias... Cheers, L.

Hi again, based on the feedback received through e-mails and via some other forum boards, please allow me to provide some more information on the contest. Each pattern should be sent to us in two identical samples. This is how we actually see if tier is able to repeat the tying procedure several times and that the first tied fly is not a "one time wonder" or a result of a mere luck This also demonstrates tiers ability on precision of tying and we are judging that by samples comparison... this also allows us to present all flies in two separate showcases when the contest ends (one contains all flies and second only the awarded ones) - used in prize giving ceremony, our archive and exhibitions. We are really happy and proud that we are able to keep our contest alive for almost 30 years now, getting bigger every year and that it remains independent. No sponsors involved. It is about tradition, strong international exposure of the participating tiers and motivation for young tiers to start tying in a creative way. Awards for the best patterns usually include fly fishing tackle, carefully crafted by the Slovenian craftsmen, rod builders, etc. (split cane rods, unique fly tying vices, reels...) and fishing licenses for the best Slovenian fly fishing districts... A part of our mission is also education of next generation of fly fishermen/ tyers in form of fly tying workshops for the youngest members of our community. And they always consider our fly tying contest as a huge motivation, especially when we invite established and world reknown fly tiers to present them techniques and approaches to creative fly tying... we are trying our best to broaden the scope and to really present fly tying as a part of our tradition and as an integral part of the Slovenian school of fly fishing. Also as a tribute to our famous fly tiers which are unfortunatelly not with us any more... And we are so stoked to see that we are receiving flies from all continents and impressed by the continuously increasing quality of the patterns we receive each year. I hope this helps you in taking decision of tying your best fly ever and sending it to us! You can send one fly per category, so 4 flies (x2) all together if you want to participate in all 4 categories. Deadline is Jan 31st, meaning that all flies handed over the to the courier/ post office till the midnight on the 31st will count for the contest. You can check the results from last couple of years in the links provided in my initial post. Kindly invited and looking forward to your further responses, questions, comments... Good luck and tight lines to all, Luka
