Winners

The annual Goose Watch Challenge started in 2020.

Community Winners

The first person in each eligible community to make a qualifying goose harvest post wins a $100 gift card.

Grand Prize Winners

The Grand Prize winners are chosen by random draw from all eligible Goose Posts made on SIKU during the challenge. Winners are announced at the end and receive gift cards from Northern, valued up to $1000.
