Contest Categories
Culturally Connected: We all come from a diversity of rich culinary traditions, but so often these foods don’t make it with us outside. We encourage you to explore recipes from your cultural backgrounds and to get creative with cooking them from standard camp cookware.
Picturesque Dining “Room”: Send us photos of your meal as you cook them in beautiful outdoor spaces. Share the beauty of your surroundings with our community, whether it be trees, mountains, rivers, grand vistas, or a homey campground.
Compelling Stories: Is your food connected to a memory of community or family? Is it something you ate after a peak experience? We would love to hear your stories.
Sustainability: We talk a lot about packing out trash, but how sustainable is what you are packing in? This category pays attention to packaging like metal cans, shipping, pesticide use, and the impact on food workers.
Fundraising: Help OEN get youth outside by asking for support from your network! Prizes will be given for the most money raised and for the most people engaged.
