You can win a brand new Starboard windsurfer of your choice ($2000), and I've not a heard a peep from you fellas? There's even new sails up for grabs.

Looks like I'll have to bend the "no staff" rule, take a photo of me with a Flying Objects sticker while standing on a beach, and I'll walk off with the goodies!

Where's your entry?

Probably not. Although they would be good 'hunt and peck' typists.

I very much doubt it is open to roos or emus either, but hey, I don't know, I haven't read the rules.

New Zealand is a state of Australia anyway, what are you talking about

Maybe it is just me but I thought the rules too broad. I did a pic last year and then realised people did pro quality videos and so on, which I don't have the resources to do. Thus I won't bother.

If it was a picture of the logo somewhere creative I'd be in it, but there is no point as we know a flashy video will win.

I agree with you there mark, im new to windsurfing and seabreeze all together. But when i made this windsock for the competition, i desperately wanted a video camera to record it all, i even went to radio rentals to find out if i could get one just for the weekend. In the end i was stuck with just a camera, and felt that 3 photos didnt do justice to show the effort i put in compared to a video camera.

Perhaps next year make individual video and picture comps?

Actually the guy doing the FO man won last year, he just dressed up like a super hero and made a fool of himself in major public events...

Still a video........

I don't begrudge the winner I'm just saying these things have a habit of getting bigger each year, bit like Christmas lights competitions in the suburbs........
There is no way a person with a cheap digital camera but a really good idea will win as the "putting a FO logo in a creative place" will surely be secondary to video, clever editing with the latest software, internet exposure, in a capital city, in front of thousands of people, or with somebody famous doing something.... things like that.
