WRITING
Our writing category invites submissions across both consumer-facing and trade publications regardless of the size of the publication. We encourage entries that showcase the best of horticultural writing in magazines and newspapers as single articles, or as a series or ongoing column of articles, including online blogs. We invite submissions in the marketing category, such as catalogs or brochures, marketing newsletters, and calendars (judged for the content, not the photography). We also recognize the dedication required for publishing a book for general fiction and non-fiction readership, as well as a technical/reference books.
