Short Description:

Trees mark time. From spring’s first buds to autumn’s final blaze, they quietly witness the turning of the seasons—enduring, transforming, and echoing nature’s rhythms.

This juried exhibition invites photographs that explore the relationship between trees and seasonal change. From the stark beauty of winter branches to the lush greens of summer and the fleeting colors of fall, we welcome images that capture the power, poetry, and presence of trees throughout the year.

All photographic styles are welcome—from literal to abstract, intimate to expansive.

We are honored to have Lee Ann White as the juror for Trees and Seasons. She will select up to 35 images in our Middlebury, Vermont Exhibition gallery and another 40 images for our Online Gallery. All 75 images will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog and remain permanently on our website, and be promoted on social media with links to photographers’ URL. 

Application Requirements:

  • File format: JPG or JPEG only
  • Size: Up to 5MB closed file size
  • Resolution: ~2100 pixels on the longest side, 300ppi recommended
  • Color space: sRGB recommended for both B&W and color
  • Compression: 7–8 quality setting in Photoshop or equivalent

Avoid watermarks or signatures—they distract from your work and may affect jurying. For diptychs or triptychs, assemble into one image before uploading.

Program Benefits or Awards:

If your work is selected for the Exhibition Gallery, we offer several options to make exhibiting affordable:

  • Use our professional print service: For $55, we’ll make a high-quality print from your digital file and frame it at no added cost for the duration of the exhibit. Return shipping is optional and available for an additional $25.
  • Ship your own print: If your print fits within our standard 16×20 frames, we’ll mat and frame it for free. Custom mat sizing is available, but framing must work within our standard 16×20 format.
  • Send a framed piece: You may send a ready-to-hang framed print in any size, but please contact us first for approval of work larger than 16×20 to ensure we can accommodate it.
