(11/17/25) BATON ROUGE, La. — Louisiana photographers are welcome to submit entries of their best work for the 2027 edition of the LSU AgCenter Get It Growing calendar.

LSU AgCenter faculty will select about 40 photos for this year’s Calendar, said Elma Sue McCallum, the project coordinator. The deadline for entries is March 31, 2026.

“The Get It Growing calendar is a collection of beautiful photos and a trusted resource for useful gardening tips,” McCallum said. “It makes a great holiday gift for your favorite gardener.”

The AgCenter wants photographers of all experience levels to submit their best photos 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.

Twelve photos will be featured as full-page images for each month’s page in the calendar, and one will be used on the cover, she said. The rest will be used throughout the calendar.

Photographers chosen for the featured monthly pages will receive five copies of the published calendar, and their names will be included with their photos, McCallum said. Other contributors 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. Each person is asked to limit their entries to 25 or fewer of their best photos.

Submission guidelines can be found at www.LSUAgCenter.com/GetItGrowingCalendar.

The 2026 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.
