Guest Tony P Report post Posted January 14, 2015 Does the winner get royalties from the sale of their fly? If so that’s a contest worth entering, if not why enter so Orvis can profit of our designs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stmflies 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2015 I was thinking the same thing. Not really a prize if they are making all the money off your fly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flytire 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2015 nothing against orvis but contests in general are not for me the royalties will not make you rich over night or even over time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2015 Yep seems the second prize would make you some cash, 1st prize just for ego stoking? And whats an 'original' fly? You only have to trawl the web to see so many new flies that are simply rehashes of another pattern. Fair play to Orvis though for offering tiers something to tie for and good marketing.

J-Kno 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2015 Just read through the T&Cs... The fly is theirs, no royalties....: b. Contestant has the full and exclusive right, power and authority to submit the Entry and to grant Sponsor the rights to the Entry, including but not limited to the worldwide copyright; g. By accepting a prize, winners agree that Sponsor and its affiliates may use the winner’s name, address (city, state), photograph, statements, video, or other likeness, and/or prize information for advertising, publicity and promotional purposes. In addition, winner grants to Sponsors, and its affiliates any and all rights to said use without further notice and/or compensation, except where prohibited by law.

J-Kno 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2015 Also, looks like the editor has clarified that you do earn royalties: Phil Monahan January 14, 2015 at 9:50 am "Of course the winner gets the royalty payments from sales of their fly pattern. But trust me: it’s not enough to let you quit your day job." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
