LSU AgCenter calendar photo contest deadline nears

(02/15/17) BATON ROUGE, La. – Louisiana photographers who want to submit photographs for the LSU AgCenter 2018 Get It Growing Lawn and Garden Calendar have only a few days to enter.

February 28 is the deadline for sending their best photos of beautiful Louisiana flowers, plants, lawns and gardens. LSU AgCenter faculty members will select approximately 40 photographs for the calendar, said project coordinator Elma Sue McCallum.

A dozen of the photos selected for the 2018 calendar will be featured as full-page, color images for each monthly page in the calendar, and one will be used on the cover, McCallum said. The rest will be used throughout the calendar.

Photographers chosen for the monthly pages will receive 10 copies of the published calendar, and their names will be included with their photos, she said. Other photographers chosen will be credited and receive two copies of the published calendar.

Submissions must be high-resolution digital images on CD and submitted with a 2018 Call for Entries form. All images must be photographed in Louisiana and the original work of the photographer submitting the image. Photographers may submit up to 25 of their best gardening photographs. CDs will not be returned.

Submission guidelines can be found on the Call for Entries form, which is available at www.LSUAgCenter.com/GetItGrowingCalendar.

“We’re asking photographers to submit their favorite photos of lawns, gardens, flowers, trees and vegetables,” McCallum said. Each person is asked to limit their entries to 25 or fewer of their best photos.

For more information, contact McCallum at 225-578-2462.
