Photo Contest
It’s time for the annual Arboretum Photo Contest again. Please enter those great photographs that give us the amazing selection of images to put into our Arboretum calendar.
Once again the photographs that are entered will be on display in the main hallway in Biggin Hall for one week. The awards will be announced on our website and hung on the photos on April 21, 2011.
A cash award is given in the Arboretum category and gift certificates to Camera Graphics are awarded in all other categories.
