- Win exciting recognition and a chance to win cash.
Themes

- Nutrient Deficiency Symptoms in Crops: Help them to visualize the impact of nutrient deficiencies in crops and the need for balanced plant nutrition. Whether it’s nitrogen-starved maize or potassium-deficient potatoes, your photos can help educate and inform.
- Plant Nutrition Research in Action: Capture the innovative work happening in plant nutrition research—whether it’s field trials, lab experiments, or soil testing—your images can showcase the science driving sustainable agriculture.
Benefits
- Winners in each category will receive the cash award plus a certificate of acknowledgement.
Application Requirements

- Photo Descriptions:
- Photos must include a unique caption, which includes a description of the photo’s subject, the location in which it was taken, when it was taken (month and year if possible), and how it is related to the contest category.
- Nutrient deficiency images should be supported by a short description of the symptoms. If you have any background on how the crop was managed, or any analytical data, please include that in your description for the benefit of others, and to help their evaluation.
