2024 GreenThumb Harvest Fair Competition
Do you think you’ve harvested an award winner? Show off your abundance by sending us your photos of veggies, herbs, flowers, and fruit growing in the garden. Photos of what you grew earlier in the season are eligible to be entered into the competition as well.
This year, the competition now has a herb and produce category for all New Yorkers who have a green thumb and grow in their windowsills, backyards, front yards, rooftops, etc.!
For guidelines and categories, visit our website at bit.ly/GTHarvestFairCompetition24. Email submissions to [email protected] by the deadline: Friday, August 14, 2024 with the subject: Harvest Fair Competition Submission.
If you need help with submitting your photos for the competition or have related questions, please reach out to your GreenThumb Community Engagement Coordinator or email [email protected].
A panel of experienced growers will decide the winners in advance and they will be announced during our 44th GreenThumb Annual Harvest Fair on Saturday, September 28, 2024 at El Jardin del Paraiso at 710 E. 5th Street in Manhattan. Gardeners who enter the competition are encouraged to bring their submissions, if possible, to our Harvest Fair on September 28th. We will have a place to display your entries during the day.
