Win a Turkey Hunt with NWTF’s “Turkey Call” TV
EDGEFIELD, S.C. - By uploading a creative, original, interview-style video to the National Wild Turkey Federation’s official page , one lucky outdoor enthusiast will win a filmed turkey hunt with the NWTF’s “Turkey Call” TV producers in 2011.
To win the “Our Youth, Our Legacy” Video Contest, entrants must upload a one- to five-minute video that tells the importance of preserving hunting heritage among North America’s youth. The judging is not based on special effects and fancy editing; the message, passion and story are what matters.
Whether an entrant is a father whose favorite hunting partner is his child, a sister who learned from an older brother, or an entrant chooses to recount fond memories with a hunting mentor, the NWTF wants to hear each and every story.
“This contest is a great way for our community on Facebook to share their own unique, hunting heritage stories, experiences and insights,” said Brent Lawrence, NWTF public relations and Web director. “You don’t need fancy equipment to participate; a home video camera or Web cam will work great. We’re looking for creative contributions that show the importance of getting youth involved in the outdoors and passing on our hunting heritage.”
Entrants may choose to creatively include how they learned to hunt, why it’s important to teach youth to hunt or what they’re doing to pass on personal hunting traditions. Although editing is not required, including hunting or other footage in support of a hunting heritage story or lesson is acceptable.
To enter the contest, visit Facebook.com/theNWTF and click the “Contests” tab. Be sure to review the contest rules, requirements and grand prize details. The deadline for submissions is September 6.
The NWTF’s official page on Facebook was launched in November 2009, and has since become a top source for hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts to interact with each other, share photos and videos, enter contests and giveaways, get NWTF news and announcements and more.
“Turkey Call” is the NWTF’s fast-paced TV program featuring North America’s largest game bird as the star and Brenda Valentine, with her down-home, fun-filled personality, as host. “Turkey Call” airs each week on the Pursuit Channel. The grand-prize winner’s hunt will be filmed for possible use on the show.
Founded in 1973, the NWTF is a nonprofit conservation organization that works daily to further its mission of conserving the wild turkey and preserving our hunting heritage.
Through dynamic partnerships with state, federal and provincial wildlife agencies, the NWTF and its members have helped restore wild turkey populations across the country, spending more than $331 million to conserve 14 million acres of habitat for all types of wildlife.
The NWTF works to increase interest in the outdoors by bringing new hunters and conservationists into the fold through outdoor education events and its outreach programs -Women in the Outdoors, Wheelin’ Sportsmen, JAKES and Xtreme JAKES.
