Headquartered at Weber State University, the Camping World® sponsored Outdoor Weber competition is a three-day outdoor recreation idea contest located in the Ogden Utah Valley, outdoor capital of the world. College students around the country with an innovative outdoor idea have submitted a brief video in outdoor categories including technology, fashion, services, equipment, recreational events, vehicles, etc. 

Twenty-five semifinalists will be determined by the greatest number of online votes each video receives. From this group, a panel of industry experts will select 10 finalists who will then be invited to Ogden, Utah for the final competitive event on March 22-24, 2018. The three-day competition gives participants the opportunity to refine their concepts with assistance from some of the world’s most-recognized outdoor recreation-based individuals and companies, AND recreate in one of the world’s most amazing outdoor playgrounds! The winning idea will be selected by a panel of judges based on progress made throughout the duration of the competition, and its creator will take home a $30,000 grand prize.

Shareholder Peter F. Malen, Jr. will mentor the 10 finalists on March 22 at Snowbasin. For information on the competition, visit outdoorweber.org.
