Enter the Arbor Day photo contest!

ROSEBURG, Ore. – Roseburg Parks and Recreation invites you to enter the 2024 Arbor Day Photo Contest, which launches today.

Show how beautiful, awesome, inspiring, intriguing or even funny trees can be – and possibly get your photo featured in the Spring 2024 City Connection e-newsletter! The deadline to enter is 5 p.m. Friday, April 19, 2024.

“I’m excited to see which trees the community can capture through the lens,” said Roseburg Recreation Coordinator Tracy David. “Since Roseburg is a designated Tree City USA, there are many to choose from.”

The top three photos will be announced and showcased on Arbor Day – Friday, April 26 – on the Roseburg Parks and Recreation Facebook page. The winning photos also will be highlighted in the City Connection e-newsletter later this spring. Sign up to get the City Connection e-newsletter emailed to your inbox.

Anyone is eligible to submit one photo taken in the Roseburg area (Roseburg, Melrose, Green, Lookingglass, Garden Valley and Winchester) depicting a tree or grove of trees. Be sure to include the photo location in your entry.

Please remember: The contest is supposed to be fun! Use whatever camera you like or feel most comfortable with. But please don’t use Adobe Photoshop or other editing software to alter the appearance or reality of the photo.

Only photos submitted through the online contest submission form will be considered. Emailed photos will not be considered. The City reserves the right to post additional entries and to not display a photo deemed inappropriate.

Don’t forget to like and follow the City’s Facebook page and the Roseburg Parks and Recreation Facebook page.
