About the Grand Nationals
The Worlds Largest Callmaking Contest
The contest started years ago by Charley Burke (A regional director at the time) as a way to showcase the callmakers who are the spirit of the organization. It started with just a few categories and as a carving contest. Over the years it has evolved into the largest callmaking contest of its kind in the World. Come check it out in person this year in Nashville, TN.
