SITKA Gear, a pioneer in the outdoor apparel industry, presents Diverge 12, the annual photo contest with a unique platform created to deepen the art of hunting storytelling and portray the lives of hunters in an honest and inspiring way. This contest, now in its 12th year, shifts focus from the harvest of game species to the broader, more authentic hunting experience.
Instead of focusing on “grip-and-grin” photos, SITKA Gear’s Diverge 12 photo contest addresses the need to share the “moments in between” that accurately depict and celebrate the hunting experience. It expands the definition of “trophy” to encompass any experience in the field that is hard-earned, ethically considered and mindful of future generations. It’s about presenting hunting stories that inspire and honor our shared hunting heritage.
“Capturing the holistic hunting experience is a powerful way to convey the true spirit and beauty of hunting and the outdoors,” said Todd Barker, Marketing Director at SITKA Gear. “The SITKA Diverge Photo Contest encourages hunters and photographers to share the real, unfiltered stories from their pursuits.”
SITKA Gear invites all hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to participate in Diverge 12 by sharing their moments of triumph, suffering, reflection and adventure.
Contest Categories: Big Game, Whitetail, Waterfowl, Turkey, The Life, and Roughcuts
Category winners, as well as the grand prize winner, will receive exciting prizes from SITKA Gear and participating brand partners.

NBEF is dedicated to portraying bowhunting in a positive light and recognize bowhunters who are proud of their sport.
Whether you’re a longtime friend of NBEF, a student, an instructor, or have been part of our journey in any capacity, we invite you to share your favorite bowhunting moments with us. Our contest is not about the size of your harvest or the score of your game; it’s about the memories and experiences you’ve had in the great outdoors. Your photo could depict the anticipation of heading out, a heartwarming gathering to swap bowhunting tales, a delicious meal prepared from your harvest, meticulous setup or checking of trail cameras, maintenance of your equipment, or any other snapshot that encapsulates the essence of your time afield.
To participate, simply email your photo to info@nbef.org and include your name (we will use only your first name and last initial), your home state/country, and the location where your captivating photo was taken. Selected photos may find their way to our platforms at NBEF.org, Facebook, or Instagram.
NBEF Executive Director Marilyn Bentz explained, “NBEF’s mission is to be the beacon of responsible bowhunting. Let’s join forces to champion bowhunting together. We’re thrilled to display your bowhunting snapshots and reward fortunate winners with NBEF trucker caps and merchandise.” Read more
