The NGC Vision of Beauty calendar is a handy 5×7 calendar with plenty of room to write down all your “to-do” activities and appointments to keep. Each year, NGC floral designers enter their best designs in hopes of being chosen to be published in the Vision of Beauty calendar. I have been honored to have several of my designs chosen over the years.

Now is the time for floral designers to enter their photos for possible publication in the 2028 Vision of Beauty calendar. The entry form and directions for submitting entry photos are located at new-vob-submission-2026.pdf. From abstract to traditional arrangements and garden photos to botanical artistic crafts, an interesting variety of floral and horticulture photos make up each calendar. The deadline for both mailed and emailed entries is August 15. Only vertical photos are accepted to fit the calendar’s format.

If you enjoy creating floral designs, have a special section of your garden you want to share, or have artwork or jewelry made from plant material, enter up to five photos along with entry forms. Your entries do not have to be ones entered in a flower show. In fact, no ribbons can be in the photos. Enter five of your favorite floral, garden or artistic craft photos. One or two entries might be chosen for the upcoming calendar…it never hurts to try!
