The NWTF Photo Contest has long been an opportunity for the industry's most talented photographers to showcase their passion for capturing images of live wild turkeys in the field.

Building upon the success of last year's contest, we have continued with expanded categories beyond just wild turkeys to allow the countless passionate outdoorsmen and women to showcase their stunning visuals of the wild places they venture; the wildlife that inhabits our woods, waters, mountains and prairies; and share lifestyle imagery of their time spent afield keeping our hunting heritage alive.

Once the contest begins on Oct 1, 2026, you'll be able to enter your images through Jan. 10, 2027, at 11:59 p.m. ET for your chance to take home one of the many prizes and potentially have your photographs on display at the 2027 Convention and Sport Show or featured in Turkey Call Magazine.

The 2025 Grand Prize Photo was awarded to Zack McQueen, for his entry titled "Forest State."
