Guest Report post Posted June 27, 2008 I am very excited to announce that we will once again be awarding medals to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in each category in the 2008 FTOTY contest. As many of you will remember we did this back in 2006 and I think they made a great prize, I wish that I would have been in the position to do it last year. These medals represent a major investment and I did this simply to boost the excitement around the contest and hopefully get more participants. As everyone has seen, the contest is far more enjoyable when each category is filled with a variety of different patterns. I hope to make 2008 the best FTOTY ever and hope you will help me spread the word. Tell every fly tier you know, together lets make this a special event.

oatka 0 Report post Posted June 27, 2008 Those are AWESOME! I was just an FTF newbie back in 2006, and didn't get in the contest. Then, 2007 I failed to tie up and ship anything. Now, it's 2008, I've seen the medals....and I gotta beat Day5! So, the pressure is on!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
