The Jackson County Master Gardener™ Association Member Services Working Group (MSWG) announces its annual photo contest.

 

✦The 2026 JCMGA Photo Contest is open to all current Jackson County Master Gardener™ Association members.

✦Photos may be submitted from January 1st  until January 31st, 2026.  We can accept two (2) photos from each member, although there will be only one winning photo per person.

✦Photographs are limited to those taken in gardens of the Rogue Valley and the focus must be on a plant or flower, garden animals or insects – no people (for privacy issues).

✦Please submit your photograph in portrait format, rather than landscape format to barbaralow@msn.com .

✦All photographs must be at least 1500 x 1575 pixels (5”x5-1/2” at 300 dpi) and all submitted photos become the property of JCMGA.

In addition, since the photograph on the cover of the directory is longer from top-to-bottom than from side-to-side, photos submitted must be in portrait format rather than landscape.

Please submit your picture to barbaralow@msn.com and include your name, phone number, email address and a short description of the flora pictured. If you have any questions, please contact Barbara Low, barbaralow@msn.com.    All identifying information will be removed and the contest will be judged by members of the Member Services Working Group.

The winning photograph will appear on the cover of the 2026 JCMGA Chapter Directory, and four runners-up will have their photographs featured in the Garden Beet. Winners will be announced in the April Garden Beet.

Whether your garden consists of several acres or a single plant in a hanging basket, we would love the opportunity to honor the beauty you have created and nurtured.

  • All submitted photos become the property of JCMGA.
