The contest waiting period is March 1 - 31, 2008 - EVERY effort will be made to hold the contest during the waiting period. Based on Little Nasty’s forecast, surfers will get a notice of “Possible-Go” 3 days in advance via email (with periodic updates), with final go or no-go 6PM the night before the contest. Since the NY and NJ coasts face different directions, it is possible that Little Nasty will call the contest one day in NY and another in NJ to get the best conditions for all surfers across the area, although it’s not impossible that it will be held on only one day.2. Surfers MUST pre-register by completing and submitting the “Competitor Registration and Release” form by February 21, 2008 and will be issued a Yellow “Do it for Dean” Rashguard that will be worn the day of the contest. (Lead time is needed to mail out and distribute the rashguards!)3. Surfers will be asked to obtain pledges from individuals or corporations based on the largest wave they surf while wearing the rashguard during the day of the contest. (e.g.: 8ft wave x $5 pledge = $40). Pledges may be accepted up to the day of the contest.4. To be eligible to win the “Little Nasty Cup”, the surfer must be captured on film wearing the rashguard, and the photo submitted to pics@NYNJSurf.com no later than midnight, April 8, 2008.5. Contest Photographers will be available at (hopefully) 5 designated locations across NJ and NY, however individual or groups of contest surfers are free (or even encouraged!) to hook up with their own photographers at disclosed or undisclosed locations in search of the biggest waves they can find. Locations will be announced February 29th, 2007.6. Surfers are not restricted to any hour, time slot, or location, and may surf all or any part of the day from dawn til dusk, or all or any part of the day at one or multiple locations if they choose.7. Surfers from outside the NJ and NY area will be able to participate on any day March 1 - March 31, 2008, but MUST be photographed wearing the rashguard to be eligible to win. While Dean is a New Jersey native, he touched people around the world – competitors from the world over are encouraged to enter!8. Photographs submitted remain the sole property of the photographer, and will only be reproduced/printed/distributed with permission. All judging will be done by NYNJSurf.com. The judges will compare submitted photographs of the largest waves to determine a winner. The decision of the judges is final.9. For purposes of expediting pledge collection and getting funds to Dean as quickly as possible, all competitors are asked to “self judge” immediately at the end of the contest. Please estimate the # of feet of your largest wave, complete your pledge forms, and fax to the “Do It For Dean!” faxline at 516 775-6273. 10. The large, silver “Little Nasty Cup” will be engraved and presented to the surfer photographed on the biggest wave in NJ/NY, and The NYNJSurf.com Silver Platter to the surfer who raises the most pledges, both to be awarded at an upcoming awards ceremony in April, held for the year, and passed on to the winners in 2009!
