  • Through Monday, May 31, 5:00 pm Deadline – 2021 Spotlight on Natives Photo Contest

    Wherever you live, The Ecological Landscape Alliance invites you to share the beauty of native plants in your area. Send us your most inspiring photographs of individual native plants or native plants communities in either natural or garden settings and you’ll be entered to win a one-year ELA membership. The contest runs from April 1st through May 31st. ELA will include the winning images in the June issue of the ELA Newsletter and post winning photographs (with attribution) on ELA’s Facebook page and website throughout the year. There is evidence that regularly spending time in nature benefits one’s mental and physical health and overall sense of well-being. Those benefits are especially important now – and a walk with your camera breaks no rules of social distancing. If Spring has not yet arrived in your area, why not spend time remembering warmer days by perusing your photos from past gardening seasons? You might discover some excellent contest entries in your collection!

    Photo submission requirements and contest guidelines are found at https://www.ecolandscaping.org/event/2021-spotlight-on-natives-photo-contest/

    First place winners in each category will receive a one-year Professional membership to ELA. If the winner has a current ELA membership, the membership will be extended for one year. Value $100. Up to two additional photographs in each category will be recognized as honorable mentions and will win $50 credit for books in the ELA bookstore or ELA logo merchandise. Prizes will be announced in the June issue of the ELA Newsletter and featured in an article and on the ELA website.
