(11/25/24) BATON ROUGE, La. — The LSU AgCenter is now asking for entries into their 2026 Get It Growing calendar. If you feel your photography of plants from around the region are ready to be displayed, you are encouraged to submit your best work of the flora of Louisiana.
Elma Sue McCallum, the project coordinator, said LSU AgCenter faculty will select about 40 photos for the calendar. The deadline for entries is April 30, 2025.
“The Get It Growing calendar is a popular source for gardening tips and beautiful photos of flowers, plants and gardens,” McCallum said. “The calendar has become a popular holiday gift and a yearly resource for gardeners.”
The LSU AgCenter is looking for Louisiana photographers with any amount of experience to hand in their work for consideration.
“We encourage photographers to submit up to 25 of their best full-color photos of lawns, gardens, flowers, trees and vegetables,” McCallum said.
Of the photos selected, 12 of them will be featured as full-page images for each month’s page in the calendar, and one will be used on the cover. The rest will be used throughout the calendar.
If selected for one of the monthly pages, photographers will receive five copies of the calendar, and their names will be included with their photos. The other contributors also will be listed with their photos and will receive two copies of the published calendar.
Entries must be high-resolution digital images and submitted online at http://www.LSUAgCenter.com/GetItGrowingCalendar. Images must be the original work of the submitting photographer.
Submission guidelines can be found at http://lsuagcenter.com/gigcc.
The 2025 edition of the calendar, a showcase of photos, monthly gardening tips, how-to information and other items based on Louisiana’s climate zones, is on sale now online at www.LSUAgCenter.com/OnlineStore and gardening centers.
Photos submitted will be considered for each month's page and may even become the cover like this one from 2025 by Glenda Balliviero. Photo by Glenda Balliviero.
