NEW FOR 2011: In order to qualify for True Blue rewards, you MUST be a member of Power Pack Nation. This is a free marine and auto enthusiast online community that gives its members access to free and exclusive content and offers. Click here to sign up.

For the second year in a row, OPTIMA Batteries is rewarding anglers who use OPTIMA products in their tournament boats through its True Blue rewards program. This year the program has expanded to thousands of freshwater and saltwater events across North America, offering more than $70,000 in cash prizes for the 2011 season. New partnerships with the PAA PayDay program and IFA Redfish Cup are among the highlights for this year.

OPTIMA will pay the top-finishing contingency-qualified team a cash prize of up to $2,000 with an added incentive in some events that pays a higher amount for any team that wins the event.

To qualify for contingency money in any event, anglers must:

• NEW: Be current members of OPTIMA Batteries' Power Pack Nation, OPTIMA's own online community, prior to the beginning of the event. You can sign up for free at www.powerpacknation.com.
• Use only OPTIMA batteries in the tournament boat. NO OTHER brand of marine battery is allowed on-board for any reason.
• Display an OPTIMA decal on their boat (must be on driver's windshield, on back of main engine or on side of boat above waterline).
• Turn in within ten days of the tournament: a properly filled-out contingency form signed by tournament director; photo of both team members wearing OPTIMA hat and holding OPTIMA winner's certificate; and written testimonial about the performance of OPTIMA batteries.
