Time is running out to enter the City of Roseburg’s first Arbor Day Photo Contest.

Roseburg Parks and Recreation is sponsoring the contest which has a deadline of this Friday, April 19th at 5:00 p.m.

A City release said as an officially designated “Tree City USA”, Roseburg is teeming with stunning trees. Photographers can show how beautiful, inspiring, intriguing or even funny trees can be – and possibly get their photo featured in the Spring 2024 City Connection.

Parks and Recreation Program Coordinator Tracey David said, “This is the perfect time of the year for a photo contest – everything seems to be blooming”.

David said the top three photos will be announced on Arbor Day, April 26th – on the Roseburg Parks and Recreation Facebook page. The winning photos will also be highlighted in the City Connection e-newsletter later this spring.

Anyone is eligible to submit one photo taken in the Roseburg area depicting a tree 0r grove of trees.  Entrants should include the location where the photo was taken. Adobe Photoshop or other editing software should not be used.

Only photos submitted through the online contest submission form will be considered: https://www.cityofroseburg.org/departments/parks-and-recreation/2024-arbor-day-photo-contest
