Garden Photo Contest entry opens on Thursday

**W*@aol.com**

You have a few days off coming up and it is  time to gather and reflect on 
all that happened in 2008. While sorting through,  be sure to look at all the 
photos you took this year for eligible entries into  our garden photo contest. 
The three main entry rules are:

- the shots must have been taken in the 2008 calendar year
- the shots must have been taken within 150-mile radius of the U.S. Capitol  
building in WDC*
- the subject of the shots must be garden-related (i.e. plants, plant  parts, 
garden fauna, garden tools, etc.)

The 3rd Annual Washington Gardener Photo Contest  entry period runs from 
January 1-21, 2009. 

The winners are announced at the Washington Gardener Seed  Exchange on 
January 31, 2009 and then are published in the March/April  09 issue of Washington 
Gardener Magazine and are displayed at a local  art show, PhotoSynthesis, this 
spring. 

For a complete list of the 2009 contest rules, download the PDF linked

A blank Word  .doc entry form can be downloaded _here_

so not work for you, just send a request for the forms to 
_WGardenermag@WGarden_ (W*@aol.com) .)

We look forward to seeing your wonderful work!

Feel free to pass  this on to any other gardeners or local photographers you  
know.

*That means, no, YOU do not have to be a local  DC-region photographer, but 
yes, your PHOTO must have been taken  locally.

Sincerely,
