FISH MUST BE CAUGHT IN THE MONTH IT IS ENTERED IN. Quality photo of the Angler holding the fish with proper carp care used as this is THE most important! Poor fish care photos will be overlooked during judging.
Big Carp Tackle Carp of the Month Contest
Caught a good carp this month? Send us the photo. One photo takes about a minute to enter, and there is no account to create and nothing to follow or share. We pick a winner in each zone every month.
Find the zone where you caught your fish. Your entry must go in that zone, no matter where you live.
How to enter
- Find the zone where you caught your fish on the map above: Zone 1, 2, 3 or 4.
- Upload your best carp photo.
- In the description, start with your zone (for example "Zone 3") and add anything you want to tell us about the catch.
- Add your email so we can reach you if you win, then submit.
Kids Zone: Anglers 14 and under enter the Kids Zone, which covers the whole US. Don't pick a regional zone. Start your description with "Kids Zone" and tell us your age.
What happens next: We review every entry before it appears in the gallery, usually within a day or two. Browse this month's entries in the zone galleries below, and we announce the winners at the start of next month.
Prize: Each month we draw a sponsor from our vendors for every zone, and each zone winner receives $100 toward that sponsor's products as a "discount code".
This month's sponsors: Zone 1: [vendor], Zone 2: [vendor], Zone 3: [vendor], Zone 4: [vendor], Kids Zone: [vendor].
Rules to submit Carp (Cyprinus Carpio only) Common, mirror, leather, ghostie, fantail, koi, etc. (Grass carp and Buffalo are not part of the contest).
