The organization’s spring recruitment campaign began February 1 and ended on July 31. OWAA called on each of its constituents to actively enlist potential new members to join. Student and Associate members were also valid for recruitment.

The rules were simple:

• Current members were asked to reach out to outdoor writers, photographers, podcasters, bloggers, editors, videographers, etc. who would benefit from joining OWAA and share their experiences with them.
• Members then directed the recruits to the OWAA application page where they completed the necessary form after clicking the appropriate APPLY NOW tab.
• The applying member listed the referring OWAA member as a SPONSOR (this was important for tracking recruitment).
• For every new member successfully recruited, the current member got one entry.
• We chose one of the referring members each month to win a prize.
• Winners took their pick from the very robust, very well-outfitted list of prizes below.
• We also chose a winner from all the new members that joined and every month one also got to select a prize!
