    DEC Launches Second Phase of 'WomenHuntFishNY' Photo Contest

    Contest Runs June 17 through July 8

    Following the success of the New York State Department of Environmental
    Conservation's (DEC) statewide photo contest for women hunters, DEC
    Commissioner Basil Seggos today announced the second phase of the
    "WomenHuntFishNY" contest to celebrate women anglers in the state. The
    contest officially opens on Monday, June 17, and continues through July 8, 2019.

    "Women are an underrepresented, yet growing segment of New York State's
    angling public, and we want to highlight them in action," said Commissioner
    Seggos. "Collecting and sharing photos of these female anglers-of all ages and
    abilities-will inspire women and girls to get outside and cast a line."

    Women who fish in New York State are encouraged to share their photos by
    emailing womenhuntfishny@dec.ny.gov. DEC welcomes photos of all aspects of
    safe, legal, and ethical fishing. Contest categories include:

  • Freshwater fishing
  • Saltwater Fishing
  • Ice Fishing
  • Youth (girls) fishing
  • Mothers and Children/Multi-Generational
  • Action shots (Casting, reeling, or landing the big one!)

    To be considered in the contest, photos must depict women fishing in New York
    State. Fishing photos entered in DEC's fall WomenHuntFishNY hunting photo
    contest will automatically be entered for consideration. Participants are strongly
    encouraged to include a sentence to describe their image or experience.

    The deadline for contest entries is Monday, July 8. However, sportsmen and
    women are encouraged to share photos with DEC any time of year. All
    submissions will become property of DEC to be used in promotions and
    outreach. Winning entries will be featured on DEC's website, social media posts,
    marketing campaigns, print products, and future outreach to inspire future
    generations of female anglers.

    statewide photo contest, visit DEC's photo album (leaves DEC website).
