The TOTM - January 2010 is open now for new entries, so for those who are new to the competition, the rules are as set out below :
The SFF Tie Of The Month (TOTM) will now be a regular feature, but as always, there are some rules attached :
1. Entry is open to all forum members, and entries must be recieved / posted up in this section by 7th of the month following the month of competition.
2. Each month will have a new thread into which a single photogragh of two (identical) flies must be shown, the setting, the background and angle of shot will be to the entrant's choice of how best to display their tie.
3. The fly pattern is to the entrant's choice and can be built up with any recognised and / or inovative materials.
4. A text description of the fly's build up is to be posted along with the photograph, detailing materials used, eg. Wing, Tail, Tag, Ribbing, Hook size and style, Front Body / Rear Body etc. The fly must also be given a name if of an inovative design, and obviously, its current name if copying an older, recognised pattern.
5. Forum members will vote by poll for the winning tie each month and in the event of a tie-breaker, Admin will have the casting vote.
6. Following submission of entries (by 7th of each consecutive month), voting will last for 3 weeks and the votes will be closed and counted on the 28th of each month, with details of the winner posted.
7. A monthly prize will be selected from quality fly tying materials, sourced from The Helmsdale Tackle Company, and dispatched to the winning entrant. Prizes will vary from month to month but will be fly tying related.
8. Winners will require to PM their address details to a member of Admin, for onward transmission to HTCo.
