DNR Community and Urban Forestry are holding a new photo contest to get the best tree-planting picture. Show off your photography skills and enter the contest with tree-planting pictures taken this past year to win our coveted tree-themed prizes. Winners will be notified via email and announced on social media and at the 2024 Indiana Community and Urban Forestry Symposium.
Please email Megan Schoen at meschoen@dnr.IN.gov to enter a photo or ask questions about the contest. The deadline to submit photos is Nov. 30. The contest is open to anyone, with a limit of one entry per person. Photos will be judged by creative elements, photographic excellence, and overall relation to the tree-planting theme.
