The real voyage of discovery consists of not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes — Marcel Proust

How do you see forests—peaceful, inspiring, hopeful, magical? Forests and trees play a significant role in creating evocative places that also contribute to the health and prosperity of people and our planet, whether they take root in the wilderness or a landscaped urban park.

If you’re up for a wander, you can showcase your favorite picture-perfect tree or woodland in the Forests in Focus Photo Contest and help tell the visual story of the importance of nature.

Sponsored by Favorite World Press planting partners, American Forests, the competition is open to professional, amateur, and high-school-aged photographers across the United States. You can submit up to ten high-resolution, digital format photos across seven categories, including cityscapes, landscapes, wildlife, and nature as art. Winning photos from each category will be featured in American Forests’ Summer magazine issue. Winners will also receive a one-year American Forests membership.

Expressing your unique photographic perspective on Earth’s beautiful view is a super and safe way to put a dent in the winter/COVID-19 doldrums. So head on out tree people, focus on your favorite forest, and submit what you see, now through March 5, 6 PM EST. Click, click, click!
