New Changes this Year

A competition that continues to evolve

Each year we find new ways to make the competition better for all the competitors that it means so much to. The Grand National Custom Callmaking Competition is the largest competition of its kind in the WORLD with over 1400 "custom" made Turkey calls registered each year. As it continues to grow, we frequently have to evaluate what works and what doesn't. Here is what's new for 2027.

  • Challenge Categories: an extra $500 on the line
    To encourage more entries in categories that deserve more attention, four existing categories have been named 2027 “Challenge Categories.” The winner of each one takes home a one-time $500 bonus on top of the standard cash prize.
    Division 1 – Decorative Turkey – Category 19 – Trough Style Call
    Division 2 – Hunting Turkey – Category 4 – Tom Turpin Hen Box Handled Design
    Division 3 – Decorative Waterfowl – Category 10 – Carved Waterfowl Head Call
    Division 4 – Hunting Waterfowl – Category 16 – Open Working Decorative Duck/Goose Call
  • The “Thanks for Entering” $500 drawings
    Every callmaker who enters a turkey call or a duck call is automatically entered in our new “Thanks for Entering” drawing. No sign-up needed. One turkey callmaker and one duck callmaker will each win $500, just for being part of the competition.
  • Kids workshops are growing
    Last year's free kids callmaking workshops were a huge success, with young people building their own calls alongside some of the best callmakers in the country. This year we're bringing even more to the program, because getting kids excited about callmaking, the wild turkey and our hunting heritage is how we keep it all alive for the next generation.
  • A new and improved website, with faster auctions
    We've rebuilt a lot of this website behind the scenes, and the online auctions have been redesigned from the ground up. Bidding is now much faster and more responsive, so the lag many of you ran into in past years, especially in the busy final minutes, should be a thing of the past.
