Details of the Competition

Overview: In keeping with the mission of FFI to preserve the legacy of fly fishing for all fish in all waters, the objective of the Inaugural FFI Film Competition is to invite and encourage filmmakers of all ages, abilities, and experiences to tell their fly-fishing-related stories through film. Experienced or novice, young or old, close to home or in exotic locations, all are invited to submit their original films.

Judging: Films will be selected by a panel of judges from the fly fishing community whose identity will be confidential until after the contest. Expo registrants will also vote for a Fan Favorite of those selected by the judges.
