Here's your chance: with the Shimano Wild Card for the YPC Boat 24, one of you will get the opportunity to take part in Europe's biggest YouTube fishing tournament alongside an experienced, locally knowledgeable Shimano team angler on a fully equipped boat.
To apply, we need a video, a photo and an email with your contact details (name, phone number, social media accounts).
More details below:
Video Application
Start your video with your first name and convince us that you deserve the coveted Shimano Wild Card. Your experience as a skilled predator angler and your strong connection to Shimano make you the ideal candidate. Knowledge of the tournament waters and/or experience in boat fishing are an advantage, though not essential. What matters most is that you present your passion for fishing and your connection to Shimano in a compelling way.
*Please note: the video must be no longer than 3 minutes, filmed in landscape format (16:9), contain no background music, and ideally feature no logos from other fishing brands.
To submit your application video, send us a download link (e.g. via WeTransfer or Dropbox) by email to shimanowildcard@gmail.com. Don't forget to include your contact details in the email: name, age, where you're from, phone number and any social media channels you have. That way we can easily get in touch and get to know you.
