Farmers Markets are very photogenic.

To properly celebrate National Farmers Market Week (August 5-11), grab your metro card, hit a market you've never visited (we have 50 Greenmarkets and 15 Youthmarkets!) and take some photos.

We invite photographers (professional, amateur, or student) to get out there, snaps some photos, and send us the image that best celebrates GrowNYC Greenmarkets and Youthmarkets. MAJOR bonus points if it is not a photo of the Union Square Greenmarket - we have plenty of images of our flagship market and want to see some beauty shots of our other markets.

Our team of judges will select the top 25 entries for a roving photography show at various markets throughout the city, and one grand prize-winning photograph will receive a gift certificate for Greenmarket-centric restaurant, Loring Place. 

Please email your high resolution photos, along with a short description of your experience visitng a new market, to photo@grownyc.org by Thursday, August 30^th.

Good luck!
