Tree Photo Contest 2025

We're no longer taking photo contest submissions, sorry!

Yay!  It's time for our 16th Annual Arbor Day Tree Photo Contest!

Every year we have a Tree Photo Contest. This isn't just a contest, it's a chance for all of us to share and appreciate the beauty of nature. Hooray for trees!

 Winners will be announced here and via email on Arbor Day, April 25th 2024

2025 Rules

*ONE entry per person.

*This contest is for fun, and everyone is welcome to participate.

*Please make sure the photo is one you took yourself, NOT AI created or AI enhanced, that the main object in the photo is a tree or trees, and that it doesn't have any copyright restrictions on it.

We reserve the right to use your photo on our website and in our email newsletters, but the photo still belongs to you and we will credit the photo to your name once prizes have been determined.

***We reserve the right to not post your photo if one or more of the conditions above aren't met.***

Prizes

We appreciate ALL tree photos. When you submit a photo, it means a tree made you stop and really behold it, and that is something special, a moment in time you capture and share with us. We really do mean it when we say we are grateful for everyone who participates in this contest because it's a chance for us to share our love for and respect of trees.  

Winners will receive an email by May 2nd with details about how to redeem their prize. Prizes must be redeemed within one year. Prize trees can be planted in the name of the winner or someone of their choosing.

*Best photo in each category gets $100 credit toward Tree Gifts

*Honorable Mentions get $50 credit toward Tree Gifts (Honorable Mentions happen when a photo is a fairly close 2nd place in votes or the TFC team thought the photo deserved some special recognition.)

 

Categories are: 

~Autumn Leaves

~Winter Tree/s

~Beach/Desert Tree/s

~Colorful Tree/s

~Close Up

~Black & White

~Light & Shadow

~Survivor Tree

~Glorious Big Tree

~Unique Tree

*Are you wondering why this isn’t this a “serious” photo contest, and why don’t we spend a bunch of money and time making this contest page fancy? 

It's because we want to encourage the love of trees, and that means everyone is welcome to submit photos- not just artists or people with expensive cameras. 

Trees and tree love are for everyone. Also, we are not a photo contest company. We are a tree planting company and that’s what we want to focus most of our energy on. 😉
