CHICAGO BOTANIC GARDEN

Fall 2012 Digital Photography Contest Winners

Water and waterlilies seemed to be a theme among our judges' picks this time, although choosing from the panoramas of the Great Basin and our other gardens was tough.Thank you to all of the photographers who entered our fall photo contest, sharing treasures from all corners of the Garden! As with our previous contests, each grand prize winner will receive a complimentary one-year membership to the Chicago Botanic Garden. Congratulations to our winning photographers, and to everyone who entered the contest!

Our winter photo contest will be from January 25 – March 15, 2013. Winners will be announced March 22, 2013. Check back in January when we open the contest. We look forward to your amazing entries!
