Overview

Get ready to step outside and let your creativity run wild! The Outdoor Life Contest is here, inviting you to bring your innovative ideas to life under the open sky. This is a celebration of nature, adventure, and imagination, where your project can be anything that encapsulates the spirit of the outdoors. Be it a sturdy outdoor structure, a delicious recipe for outdoor cooking, or an engaging outdoor activity, we are looking for anything that enhances our experiences in the great outdoors.

This contest is more than just a competition; it's an opportunity to inspire and be inspired by a community of nature lovers and DIY enthusiasts. Maybe you've created a clever camping hack, designed an eco-friendly treehouse, or discovered a new outdoor game. No idea is too big or too small, as long as it encourages us to embrace the outdoors. So, dust off your tools, ignite your imagination, and let's see what you can create when you're inspired by the world outside your door!

There's a special Judges Prize up for grabs specifically for a student created entry (ages 13 and over, open to those enrolled in school or homeschooled). Make sure you specify your School and Age to qualify for the Judges Prize.
