The 2018 National Gardening Association Photo Contest

Welcome to the 2018 Garden.org Photo Contest, sponsored once again by our good friends at Bluestone Perennials!

Submit your favorite photos from your collection, and the members of the site will then vote for their favorites. The winning photos from each category will be pitted against each other in one final, epic vote to determine the ultimate Best of Show winners.

Bluestone Perennials has generously provided great prizes for the top 3 winners! The Grand Prize Best of Show winner will receive a $200 gift certificate to their online store. The second place winner will get a $125 gift certificate, and the third place winner gets a $75 gift certificate.

Additionally, the 1st place winner of each individual category will receive a Garden.org microbadge commemorating their victory, as well as 50 acorns and the acclaim and admiration of their peers. The Best of Show winner will receive an additional 250 acorns.

Last year we had almost 4,000 photos submitted, and this year promises to be another great showing of amazing photos!

The Rules: Limit one prize per member. If the same person wins 1st and 2nd place, then that person only get the first place prize and the next winner down gets the second prize. Prizes must be shipped to the contiguous US and Alaska.

Photos submitted must be your own creation without significant digital alteration, and must not have been submitted to previous Garden.org photo contests.

After the contest is over, entries submitted may be linked into our database of plants where appropriate. By submitting photos to our contest, you grant us permission to publish and use those photos in accordance with the Garden.org Terms of Service. There is a panel of photo contest moderators (who are not participating in the contest) who will review submissions and disqualify photos from the contest for whatever reason they may deem appropriate.
