Participants can enter as many photos as they like into the competition.
Grand prize: The winning photo will be used to create a printed postcard that will be sold in the Gift Shop to raise funds in support of the Arboretum.
Contest time frame: The contest runs now through the end of Sunday, April 8 [now 4/15/18]. So you can join us for the Grand Opening event and take your best shot!!
Our new postcard series!
Photo subject matter: Entries can feature plants, people*, or other animals—or all of the above. The only subject-matter requirement for an entry is that the photo be taken on the newly constructed section of the Arboretum Loop Trail.
Photo specs: Photo entries can be orientated horizontally or vertically. Since the winning photo will be printed, entries need to be high-resolution images, at least 2 MB in size.
Emailing entries: If you prefer to send your entry by email, send it to info@arboretumfoundation.org, with the subject line “loop trail photo contest.”
Judging: The Arboretum Foundation staff will decide the winner of the contest. The number of “likes” and “shares” a photo receives online will be a deciding factor.
Reprint permission & photo credit: Contestants grant the Arboretum Foundation permission to use their photos for online and print purposes. The winning contestant grants the Arboretum Foundation permission to use their photo to create a postcard for the purposes of Arboretum fundraising. Photographers will be properly credited for any photo use, including credit for the winning postcard photo.
* Photos of people: If a contestant takes a photo of a person’s face, they need to ask permission from that person to use the photo publicly before submitting the image for consideration in the competition.
