Here we are, at the end of our Tropical Paradise Photo Contest’s last round of finals. As we welcomed the colorful debut of The Orchid Show: Key West Contemporary this past weekend, we also had to say goodbye to Tropical Paradise for another year. Today we announce the last finalists who managed to capture the magic of that exhibition through their lenses.
While the Oscars may be over, we still have our own prize to give out for “Best Picture”—a seat in the NYBG Adult Education Photography class of the winner’s choice. We will now deliberate over the past six rounds of weekly winners, and announce the Grand Prize Winners next Tuesday. So without further ado, we announce the winners of Best Photo in the Macro Category, and Best Photo in the Sense-of-Place Category. The envelope please…

Swiping a big red circle onto my wall calendar: the Rock Garden reopens to the public in April. Can’t wait to hear the murmur of the cascade again.

The fifth week of our Tropical Paradise Photo Contest has come to an end, and once again it is time to announce the talented winners. This week’s Macro submissions focused on our pricklier specimens, while those in the Sense-of-Place category demonstrated some dramatic lighting. It is a treat to see the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory through the eyes of our talented participants, and this weekend the space will be especially brilliant for The Orchid Show: Key West Contemporary! In fact, our winning shot of the Conservatory captures the romantic atmosphere guests should delight in at our upcoming Orchid Evenings.
While we may have said goodbye to Tropical Paradise in the Conservatory this past Sunday, there is still one more week to enter the Photo Contest. Simply upload your photos from the exhibition to our Flickr group—don’t forget the #tropicalparadise hashtag—before the final deadline at 6 p.m. this Friday, February 28. You can find more information on the Photo Contest rules page. In the meantime, click through to see this week’s winners and get the details on when our Grand Prize Winners will be crowned. With only one week left, it could still be you!
