Not my photos or my garden, but a friend sent me these photos of her Verrone's Jeannie and I was so interested in a Verrone variety I hadn't heard of.

I finished sending in photos for the PSDA and ADS photo competitions. It's my first year submitting. It was kind of fun to pick out and edit these.

I didn't submit this one because it doesn't show the whole flower, but I liked Normandie Memories quite a bit.

bloomhjelm the ADS photo contest is also on my evening to do list! Next year I will get an ADS family membership because my husband isn’t a dahlia fanatic but does like to take their photographs. We had a lot of fun photographing dahlias together this summer. Half the photos I took he would say “poor framing” or “distracting background” 😂. But I think I managed some photo contest worthy shots by the end of the season. I saw this year it said NOT to label photos. Did you put any description of the flowers names in the email text? Or do we just assume the judges know the flower variety already? Or does it not matter until they choose it then they will ask?

I don't believe you have to be an ADS member to enter photographs. You have to be a member to vote.

(This is how it was two years ago, I haven't researched to see if it changed)

Justafewdahlias I entered the photo contest last month for the first time too & wondered if I did it right? I just sent a different email for each category with no info at all, no variety name or anything which seemed strange but that's what I did 🤷
