The American Lamb Board is officially announcing the return of its Summer Lambventures Grill-Off campaign for 2025. This year's initiative aims to enhance consumer engagement by introducing a competitive twist that features both amateur and professional hosts. The campaign runs May 19 to July 6, 2025, with a public voting period July 15 to Aug. 29, culminating in the announcement of the winner in early September.
Nine amateur hosts from three distinct lifestyle categories—Patio Party Planners, Fit Foodies and Outdoor Adventurers—will organize grilling parties centered around American lamb. This year’s twist features a "Pros vs. Amateurs" format, where three prominent influencers will compete alongside the amateur hosts. The public will have the opportunity to vote for both their favorite Pro and Amateur Host parties.
Each host is tasked with creating a complete, themed party, including menus and decorations, as well as producing high-quality content to showcase their events. Voters will not only choose their favorite hosts but will also be entered into a giveaway for prizes tailored to their lifestyle category from brands like Yeti and Le Creuset.
With targeted advertising and social media initiatives, the campaign aims to showcase American lamb as the go-to protein for summer gatherings while also fostering a community of lamb enthusiasts and boosting brand visibility.
“Building on the success of last year, the Lambventures Grill-Off is set to be an epic event that will help ALB reach several strategic goals,” said ALB Chairman Jeff Ebert.
The summer Lambventures campaign aims to promote American lamb as the top protein choice for summer gatherings while generating content and influencer collaborations, growing the email list and social media audience, increasing traffic to lamb recipes and strengthening brand loyalty across different lifestyle areas to highlight lamb's versatility.
