11th Annual Awesome Tree Contest

The Awesome Tree Contest is back! You are invited, once again, to submit nominations for your favorite trees.

The contest runs for the months of August and September. The rules are pretty simple. All nominated trees must be within Burlington City limits and no tree can win the same category twice. Photo Galleries of all winners are available below as well as a list of all past winners. Categories are: tallest, widest trunk, picture perfect, most unusual, and tree with a story.

Great prizes donated by these local businesses and organizations: Gardener's Supply, Intervale Compost, Bibens Ace Hardware on North Avenue, Gardenside Nursery, Curtis Lumber, Vermont Dept of Forest, Parks and Recreation, Burlington Parks and Recreation Department and Seventh Horizon Design

A printable entry form is available and an electronic entry form. So join in the fun - either print out the entry form, fill it in and mail it (or fax it) or enter your awesome tree electronically. Either way, get your entry in by September 30th and be prepared to win a lot of neat prizes!
