Photo Contest Presentations are Ready!
Thank you to all members who entered photos in our Region 4 photo contest!
We had 23 photographers send in 100 photos! Due to the large number of entries, the Single/Multiple Bloom category has been broken into two categories. Below are the links to the pdf’s containing the photos. The number indicates how many photos there are in each category.
- Category 1 – Clump or Cluster (24)
- Category 2 – Single Bloom (41)
- Category 2 – Artistic (25)
- Category 3 – Landscape (10)
You can start reviewing the photos now. If you sent in photos and don’t see them or see them in the wrong category, please send an email to adsregion4newsletter@gmail.com by Tuesday, September 29th so we can make corrections before voting. On (or about) October 1st, AHS Region 4 members will receive an email containing a link to the ballot. Since we have so many entries and to help prevent ties, we will be asking you to pick your top 3 favorites in each category and send in your vote on the online ballot we supply. Your top pick will get 3 points, 2nd favorite will get 2 points and 3rd favorite will get 1 point. Voting will be open until October 15th and only AHS Region 4 members are allowed to vote. Winners will be announce in the Fall 2026 issue of the Region 4 Newsletter.
Because this is a photo contest, please consider composition, lighting, resolution, and how well each image fits into its category. Watch your email for your ballot on (or about) October 1st.
