Every year the American Iris Society sponsors a photo contest. Concentrating generally on irises, the people who grow and hybridize them, and their use in garden or natural settings, the contest is open to anyone who submits a picture. The contest is open to adults and youth alike with separate awards for youth submissions.
There must be irises in the photo and irises in the photos should be of the Genus Iris.
Entries will be selected and judged in six (6) categories: 1. Irises in a landscape or garden. (Show the iris in the garden). 2. Irises in the wild. (Species in the wild, field or planting). 3. A person or people at iris events or tours. 4. Close up of an iris or irises. (Whole flower is showing.) 5. Iris photos – macro (close up of bloom segments.) 6. Photos of pets, wildlife or garden art with the irises.
