We’ve had an incredible few weeks. Hundreds of amazing pictures and stories that truly speak to the power of “getting out there” - but there can only be one…

Congrats, ! You’re our Grand Prize winner. A great pic and story that speaks to the heart of what it means to be a Kansan. Send us DM and $5,000 is yours!

The Professional category was VERY tough this year. In the end, our staff couldn’t stop thinking about and the moment he captured. Nothing quite like a storm over the plains!

Congrats, Jim! $2,000 is yours!

Thank you to everyone who participated and voted. One of our favorite parts of the year thanks to you!

Would you rather have:

✔ A great app but no real person
OR
✔ Great service but outdated tech

What if you didn’t have to choose?

Here’s why the best banks today combine both 👇

Big Bank Tech. Community Bank Service. Why It Matters.

What an incredible four weeks it's been.

We've had the privilege of seeing hundreds of beautiful outdoor photos and reading the stories behind them. From family traditions and favorite fishing holes to breathtaking landscapes and unforgettable adventures, every submission has reminded us that the outdoors means can mean something different to everyone.

Choosing just one finalist each week has been no easy task, and we're grateful to everyone who took the time to share a piece of their outdoors with us.

Congratulations to our Week 4 finalist, Calley Adams!

Calley's caption: When I was little I would pack my bag with my blanket, pillow, and coloring supplies and off I went to the field with my dad. Countless memories were made in the combine cab. I learned so much from these harvest seasons. The importance of weather, the pattern of the fields, the ways of the animals, that sound is the best lullaby for the best naps, but most importantly that my father is the hardest worker with the gentlest soul I'll ever know. To this day I get in that combine to ride with my dad each harvest, knowing this opportunity is fading. My daughter now joins in as we continue to grow memories every year and my father gets to step back in time and teach the importance of agriculture, dedication, and love as he once did when I was 3 years old.

With that, our four finalists for the $5,000 Grand Prize have officially been selected!

Now it's your turn to help decide the winner. Public voting begins tomorrow at midnight CST and will remain open through Friday, July 10 at 12:00 PM CST. The finalist who receives the most votes across our social media platforms will take home the $5,000 Grand Prize.

Thank you again to everyone who participated. Now let's find our winner!

Week 3 is in the books, and once again, we're amazed by the incredible photos and stories you've shared.

We love seeing the incredible stories and moments you share with us. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into what the outdoors means to you.

Congratulations to Jayla Zerbe, our Week 3 finalist for the $5,000 Grand Prize!

Jayla's caption: Every pass through the field tells a story-of early mornings, late nights, and the kind of work that never goes unnoticed. This picture represents the end of a fruitful year. It's the long hours, the dust in the air, and the steady hum of the combine that remind you what it takes to get there. Season after season, it's a cycle of hard work, patience, and faith in what's to come. This life isn't always easy, but it's one I wouldn't trade for anything.

There's still one more chance to become a finalist! Week 4 starts at midnight CST, so look for our Week 4 contest posts and share your favorite outdoor place, activity, or moment for a chance to earn the final spot.

Good luck and Get Out There!
