During the year, LIMG will have four mini photo contests, one each quarter. 

• Each participant may submit one photo for each of the three categories, and must indicate for which category a particular photo is intended. 
• Only 2025 dues paid members are eligible to submit photos and vote on winners.
• Photos on the Topics of the Quarter can be submitted digitally on the LIMG website on the new Photo Contest page: https://limastergardener.com/photo-contest or via email to kathy@kathyvandyke.com
• Photos must be current and taken by the member. Cropping and slight adjustments are acceptable. 
• Photographers do not have to submit photos to all of the categories. 
• 2025 dues paid members can vote for winners using our Survey form which will be sent to current members via email.
• Winners will be announced on the website, via email and at the monthly meeting following the end of the current contest. 

• Bragging Rights!
• Five raffle tickets at the next meeting, when winners are announced. 
• Winners’ names and photos displayed prominently on the LIMG website. 
• A large printout will be made for each of the 3 winning photos each quarter, and displayed at the meetings.
