The stars of fishing show Big Angry Fish have launched a one minute video competition showing the importance wearing a lifejacket – and the winner will win a day out on the water with Milan and Nathan themselves.

The Maritime NZ/Big Angry Fish competition runs until December 11, and is one of many initiatives for the Safer Boating Forum's summer campaign, which was launched ahead of Labour Weekend.

The video needs to include you and your mates on the water fishing, with everyone on board wearing a properly-fitted lifejacket.

You must also explain why you 'always wear a lifejacket” and include the Maritime NZ catch-phrase: 'Get it on, or it's no good”.

The clip needs to be slick, but you only need a smartphone to produce it and you'll be able to upload your video for all the world to see (subject to regular terms and conditions).

TV3's Big Angry Fish hosts Milan and Nathan will select the top three, with the outright winners decided by Maritime NZ based on humour, creativity and how the important safety message is delivered.

The prize is a day's fishing for two, with sponsor Maritime NZ paying the cost of return travel from anywhere in New Zealand to a fishing location chosen by Milan and Nathan.
