WPC 10th anniversary Registration Information
Entry Criteria
Registration DOES NOT SECURE AN ENTRY
Entries follow an invitational principle. Once, competitors provided all necessary informations in registration-process, their entry will be reviewed and confirmed, following diverse criteria:
• WPC management is keeping a reasonable number of available entries open to applicants who have never or at most once participated in the tournament, in order to live up to the idea of an open event that is not exclusively aimed at an inner circle and offers new talents the opportunity to shine while competing with experienced tournament-anglers.
• The WPC JuniorCup is an integral part of the event. Anglers, who have contributed to the establishment of the JuniorCup and served as a mentor to young talents in JuniorCups first year are given preferential access
• The #CatchAndClean ShoreLineCleanUp Program is an integral part of the WPC. Anglers who took an active part in the campaign last year and submitted unsolicited receipts for their contribution to #CatchAndClean will receive preferential access to the event.
• Companionship is king. Participants, who are particularly committed to community cohesion or who embody the spirit of the WPC will receive preferential access. Participants who have previously received a “Sportsmenship”-Award are guaranteed participation.

CleanUp Project
As part of World Predator Classic registration requirements, a clean-up operation is being conducted by all participants.
How it works:
Clean-up registration can be done any time from registration time up to the start of on-site registration.
Preferably around water be it a river/lake or the sea but anywhere is good as long as you can make a difference to a site which is dear to you.
Always better if you can have friends and family joining you and make a great day out of it.
Take a minimum of 3-5 pictures and post them on your social media accounts making sure the post is set to public access for all to see.
Email us the link to your Facebook and or Instagram, or set tags @worldpredatorclassic so we can see it and validate your entry.
