'GLOBAL CHALLENGE' 2010
The 'Global Challenge' Competition will continue this year having proved good fun in 2009 but with a few minor amendments.
This year photos will be put into various categories which will be as follows:-
Action and Adventure
The Action and Adventure category is for those mad, sorry brave and fearless enough to put their lives at risk in order to capture that classic photograph containing an item of ICFC memorabilia. This section is open to anyone, not just Martin.
'Furthest Location from Icklesham Recreation Ground'
Achieved with great style last year by John Taylor with an ICFC mug at the top of the Seoul Tower in South Korea. Can we go further this year?
'Football Grounds of the World'
Having been to the Nou Camp in Barcelona, the Seoul World Cup Stadium in South Korea, the National Football Stadium in Lima, Peru, the former Heysel Stadium in Brussels, Wembley Stadium and of course St. Johnstone F.C., let's see which grounds we can include this year.
Fun Photograph Section
These can be taken anywhere and the entry voted the funniest will win a prize.
The 'Doesn't fit into any other Section' Section
Basically any other picture not covered above!
There will be prizes for the winner in each category and these will again be voted for towards the end of the year, so get you entries rolling in!!
The winners for 2009 are:-
1st picture no. 16 entered by Dave Harding
2nd picture no. 14 entered by John Taylor 3rd picture no. 21 entered by Martin Tytherleigh

THE ICFC
‘GLOBAL CHALLENGE’
We are introducing a competition for 2009 – the ICFC ‘Global Challenge’ with the aim of spreading the name of Icklesham Casuals Football Club throughout the world!!
The idea of the competition is for photographs to be submitted taken anywhere in the world and containing an item of ICFC memorabilia (shirt, mug, pennant, key ring etc. – whatever you choose). Your photograph should contain something that identifies the location where the picture was taken as well as clearly showing the ICFC item.
Prizes will be awarded for the best 3 entries judged through on-line voting (see below) – consideration will need to be given to the photograph taken in the location furthest from Icklesham Recreation Ground, the most famous place or just the most unusual or funniest entry.
The competition will run until the end of 2009 and all photographs submitted will be put on the website. Towards the end of the year you will be able to vote for your favourite entry to decide the prize winners.
Prizes will be announced in due course (once we have thought of them!).
All entries should be e-mailed to the Club at ickleshamcasualsfc@hotmail.com.
Competition Rules
1. All photographs must contain some sort of ICFC memorabilia.
2. There is no limit on the number of entries per person.
3. Genuine pictures only (as seen here!) – anyone entering a fake or mocked up photograph will be automatically disqualified, called before the ICFC Disciplinary Committee, heavily fined and banned for 3 matches.
4. The judges’ decision is final.
5. Other rules may be introduced during the term of the competition as we think of them.
