Submit Your Photo or Artwork to DEC's Annual Arbor Day Poster Contest

DEC is accepting submissions for the annual Arbor Day Poster Contest now until December 31st! Each year, DEC's Urban and Community Forestry program coordinates the contest to promote the immeasurable value of trees in the environment and New Yorkers' lives. The winner of the contest will have their photo or artwork reproduced as the 2022 Arbor Day Poster, to commemorate the holiday.

The annual Arbor Day Poster contest is sponsored by the New York State Arbor Day Committee, which includes DEC, the Empire State Forestry Foundation, the New York State Arborist Association, State Department of Agriculture and Markets, and the International Paper Company. DEC will accept original photograph and artwork submissions on behalf of the committee through December 31, 2021. Entries must feature trees within New York State and should be sent to arborday@dec.ny.gov.

Participants must include their name, address, and, if submitting a photograph, where the photo was taken. Participants are limited to three submissions. Model consent forms are required for people in submitted photos. For more information about the contest, visit DEC's website.

To obtain past New York State Arbor Day posters, contact any local DEC forestry office or call 518-402-9428.
