Washington Gardener Photo Contest and Seed Exchange

I met Kathy from The Washington Gardener at last week's Blogger Summit. Though I'm a bit late, she wanted me to pass along this information:

You’ve seen those gorgeous garden photos published in magazines and newspapers. Enter this year’s competition and have a chance of getting your winning images published, too! Whether your take the photos in your own backyard, a nearby public garden, or while visiting friends and family in their local gardens, there are so many photographic opportunities to be found. Let’s show off the best in DC-area gardening!

This contest offers an opportunity for all photographers to present their best shots of gardens in the greater Washington, DC area. Contest entries will be judged on technical quality, composition, originality, and artistic merit. More than $500 in prizes will be awarded!

The first annual Washington Gardener Photo Contest entries will be accepted until midnight on January 22. For the full details, go to the Contests page on http://www.washingtongardener.com/, send an email to editor@washingtongardener.com to have a PDF version emailed to you, or see page 13 in the Jan/Feb 07 issue of Washington Gardener Magazine.
