Catch the Color Tulip Photo Contest 2023 | Details & Information

Catch the Color Tulip Photo Contest
2023

When the tulips bloom at Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm, Oregon photographers know that it's officially Spring time!
You're invited to enter our annual Catch the Color Tulip Photo Contest by uploading your best photos taken at the 2023 Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival.

CATEGORIES:

FLOWERS
Show us interesting, unique and beautiful pictures of flowers at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm. They can be shot using macro lenses and modes, or consider a zoom, wide-angle or creative lenses. Don't limit yourself, and get creative!

DETAILS & MACRO
Getting in close is the trick for this category. We welcome pictures of small details that tell a larger story. Don't restrict yourself to just flower shots, think abstract; a water drop, insects, leaves, ice crystals, etc. Anything goes as long as it is in a tight composition. Remember that a macro image of a flower might also go into the Flower category.

LANDSCAPE & FIELD
These pictures include landscapes, sunsets, field shots of the tulips and may also include hot air balloons or other major landmarks in the fields.

CATCH ALL
This category is for the pictures that may not fit with the other three categories. But remember: it must be taken at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Farm and may include landmarks such as the tractors, windmills, wooden shoes, or pictures with people and animals, etc.
