This past summer we held the Caladiums photo contest. It was just a fun little thing that Bill (Caladium Bulbs 4 Less) wanted to do and I was happy to oblige. Well, it went over much better than I thought it would and we got 174 photo entries. We all had a lot of fun, prizes were awarded, and beautiful photos were shared.

So I'm thinking it would be fun to run a garden photography contest this fall. No pets, cooking, barns, birds, sunsets or stuff like that. Just pure gardening, landscape, plants and horticulturally related photos.

I know plenty of other sites do photo contests, but I feel like our system is really nice and we have a lot of great photographers here. It could become a nice annual tradition here at ATP and I think some companies might want to sponsor the event in the future with real tangible prizes.

Let me hear your thoughts. Smiling
