Eight Regional Sportsman’s Celebration banquets will be held this year to honor program participants. These Sportsman’s Celebrations are coordinated by the Texas Wildlife Association. All program participants will be recognized at their Regional Sportsman’s Celebration and will receive a certificate acknowledging their entry. Participants who are unable to attend will be mailed their certificate at some point after their ceremony has been completed. No awards of monetary value will be given, only certificates.
A statewide celebration will be coordinated by TWA in conjunction with the TWA Annual Convention held each summer. The top three animals, statewide, in each category will be recognized and receive a special award at the statewide ceremony.
We are planning the 2026 regional banquets at this time. Below are our targeted locations. If you are interested in assisting with the planning and development of these regional banquets in your area, please reach out to Matt Hughes at mhughes@texas-wildlife.org.
