EL SEGUNDO— The Big 5 Kids Outdoor Adventures Photo Contest is one of the longest-running and most-popular Western Outdoor News promotions, and the 2024 winner recently picked up his incredible grand prize package. The 2025 contest is going on right now through the end of the year, so submit those photos and take your shot and monthly prizes as well as the grand prize package.
The grand prize winner for the 2024 contest is 13-year-old Nolan Wheaton, and his winning photo was a “cover contender” from a successful western turkey hunt. Nolan recently went to Big 5 headquarters to pick up a grand prize haul carrying a retail value of almost $3,000.
Big 5’s outdoor buying team compiles the Big 5 Family Outdoor Adventure Kit every year, and this year it contained products from Berkley, Ugly Stik, Zebco, Daiwa, Plano, Beeman, Umarex, Lunker Hunt, Allen, Worm Gear, Morrell, Roddy, Eagle Claw, South Bend, Camp Chef, Igloo, American Outback, Coleman, Kodiak Krysis, Stansport, E-Z Up, Grabber and Explorer. It’s enough gear to power outdoor adventures for Nolan and his family for years to come.
