Arbor Day Photo Contest 2027: “The Seasonality of Trees”
We’re excited to announce the return of the Rutgers Urban Forestry Arbor Day Photo Contest for 2027!
All levels of photographers are encouraged to participate. Whether you’re using a phone or a camera, all tree photos are welcome! There are three entry categories: elementary aged, high school, and adult.
This year’s theme is “The Seasonality of Trees.”
Capture the beauty and changes of trees throughout the year! We know that trees can be beautiful and unique during all of the seasons, and we want to see how you capture that in a photo.
Winning photographs will be featured on the Rutgers Urban Forestry website and social media, by the NJ Shade Tree Federation, and the NJ Department of Environmental Protection Urban and Community Forestry Program.
Each person may submit up to two photos, taken by themselves. Some editing is permitted to balance lighting, etc., but no AI editing please. There should be only trees in the photos, no people please. Photos should be taken in New Jersey.
