Growing Dome Photo Contest 2026

Growing Dome Photo Contest Is Back!

After taking a year off, the Growing Dome Photo Contest is back, and we can’t wait to see what you’ve been growing.

Every Growing Dome tells a story. Some are bursting with tomatoes and tropical plants. Some are tucked into snowy mountain landscapes. Some are peaceful retreats, family food sources, school gardens, or homestead centerpieces. This contest is our chance to celebrate the creativity, beauty, and abundance of the Growing Dome community.

Whether your Dome is brand new or decades old, we invite you to share your favorite photos with us.

How to Enter

Submit your photos through our easy-to-use Google Form. Each Dome Owner may submit up to 5 photos. Please choose your favorite high-quality images that best capture the beauty, creativity, and story of your Growing Dome.

Ready to Enter?

Submit your photos by July 31st.

Growing Spaces

This byline marks posts written collectively by Growing Spaces staff where no single contributor is the primary author. Growing Spaces has designed and built geodesic Growing Dome greenhouses from Pagosa Springs, Colorado since 1989, with more than 2,000 installations across 50 states and 14 countries. Posts under this byline draw on shared expertise from the team: gardeners working the production trial domes, design and engineering staff, installation crews working on customer sites, and customer experience staff who walk owners through configuration and long-term operation. When a post belongs under one person's name, it carries that person's byline instead.
