2025 GreenThumb Harvest Fair Competition Submission Form

Do you think you've harvested an award winner?
Show off your abundance by uploading your photos of veggies, herbs, flowers, and fruit that are growing in your GreenThumb community garden by Monday, September 1, 2025, 11:59 p.m. - NEW DEADLINE!

Photos of what you grew earlier in the season are eligible to be entered into the competition as well.

Home gardeners, submit your best herb, flower, and/or produce that you've grown on your windowsills, backyards, front yards, or rooftops this year to the "Home Gardeners" category!

A panel of experienced growers will decide the winners in advance, and they will be announced during our 45th Annual GreenThumb Harvest Fair on Saturday, September 27, 2025 at Herbert Von King Park and Hattie Carthan Community Garden in Brooklyn, NY.

Gardeners who enter the competition are encouraged to bring their submissions, if possible, to our Harvest Fair on September 27th. We will have a place to display your entries during the day.

We look forward to seeing your harvest!
