International Smart Gear Competition

The competition is designed to inspire innovative ideas for environmentally-friendly fishing gear.

The competition is searching for new designs for fishing devices that reduce bycatch, real-world fishing solutions that allow fishermen to fish 'smarter' by better targeting their intended catch while safeguarding the dolphins, sea turtles and other marine life often caught unintentionally.

The competition is open to eligible entrants from any profession, including fishermen, professional gear manufacturers, teachers, students, engineers, scientists and backyard inventors, offering anyone a chance to win.

The winner of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) International Smart Gear Competition will be decided by a diverse set of judges, including fishermen, researchers, engineers and fisheries managers from all over the world.

The competition is open to entrants who are at least 18 years old at the time of entry.
