Photographers can showcase their talents by participating in the first-ever "Planting Pride Photo Contest: Capturing the Spirit of America in Bloom." This contest, sponsored by America in Bloom and GIE Media, will showcase efforts to beautify and improve communities. Photos will be categorized into seven criteria: floral displays, landscaped areas, urban forestry, environmental efforts, heritage preservation, overall impression, and community involvement.
The deadline for entry is June 1, 2013. Public online voting will take place from June 2 - August 31. The winners will be recognized during the 2013 AIB Symposium & Awards, September 19-21 in Orlando, Florida.
