Enter Arbor Day Photo Contest by April 19

ROSEBURG, Ore. – Celebrate the beauty of trees in Roseburg by entering the City’s first Arbor Day Photo Contest.

Roseburg Parks and Recreation invites you to enter the 2024 Arbor Day Photo Contest, but time is running out. There’s just one more week until the deadline at 5 p.m. Friday, April 19, 2024.

As an officially designated “Tree City USA,” Roseburg is teeming with stunning trees. Show how beautiful, inspiring, intriguing or even funny trees can be – and possibly get your photo featured in the Spring 2024 City Connection!

“This is the perfect time of year for a photo contest -- everything seems to be blooming,” said Roseburg Recreation Coordinator Tracy David. “I have seen several trees in the last week around town that would make stunning photos.”

The top three photos will be announced 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 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. The City reserves the right to not display a photo deemed inappropriate.
