Submissions are now being accepted!
Submissions are now being accepted for the 3rd Annual Backcountry Hunters and Anglers Public Land Owner Film Fest. The film winners will premiere at the 9th Annual North American Rendezvous on June 4-6, 2020 in Missoula, Montana. This is a film festival you don't want to miss!
Whether you have zero video experience or are a seasoned professional with an entire crew behind you, all submissions are welcome.
This one is up to you. Make a mockumentary with your friends. Film a solo hunt. Teach us a woodsy skill that you’ve mastered. Or even film yourself talking to your local legislator about public lands issues. Whatever you do, have fun with it and keep it to 2 minutes or less.

Make a one-minute video (per their suggestions: see below) for their brand and you’ll be automatically entered to win amazing prizes from them.

Stanley
You’ve all seen Nathan Voris's famous video, The Pro-Gear Guide to Squirrel Hunting. Included in that gear guide is a Classic Stanley Vacuum Bottle – a must-have in the field. Submit a video that highlights your favorite Stanley product and why it is an essential piece of gear for your outdoor adventure – hunting, fishing, camping, or otherwise. Don’t take yourself too seriously, we are hoping for a slightly comedic, yet educational video.

Vortex
We’re unconventional, and if you’re reading this, so are you. Here’s your opportunity to share that footage from your backcountry hunt or bring your camera to the nearest public range. We want to see how YOU enjoy your public lands – humor is welcome but not required.
