Leupold's annual "Project Hunt" contest is becoming a nationwide tradition! Held each year since 2022, the contest invites American hunters to vie for an opportunity to have their next hunt professionally filmed and featured on Leupold’s digital platforms. Today, Leupold announces the winners of the 2025 contest: Representing the East will be Demi Giroux, while Stephen Moore, Chelsea Egan, and Ivy O’Guinn will represent the West.
After reviewing a record number of applications, Demi Giroux’s Maine moose hunt was selected to represent the East region, while Stephen Moore’s Washington mountain goat hunt was selected to represent the West region–alongside the Alaska brown bear hunt of Chelsea Egan and Ivy O’Guinn.
“Every year we’re incredibly impressed with the quality of the submissions the Project Hunt contest receives,” said Tim Lesser, Vice President of Product Development & Marketing for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “The 2025 campaign produced a record number of entries and countless stories worth telling. So much so that, for the West region, we decided to expand the prize pool and select two winners. We look forward to highlighting all three of our winners’ stories in 2026 as we continue to recognize and elevate the relentless drive and passion that our Leupold Core members possess.”
Project Hunt 2025 accepted entries from June 2 through June 22, 2025. The selected winners will have their hunt captured by a professional filmmaker and turned into Leupold-produced short films. Winners will also receive a complete Leupold optics kit. We'll be sure to let our readers know when the contest-winner films are ready for America to watch and enjoy!
