TPPC 2014: Week Five Winners!

Posted in Photography on February 24 2014, by Lansing Moore

cactus_thumbnail-240x264The 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!
