Tree-rific news. You still have time to participate in Nashville Tree Foundation’s 2024 Big Old Tree Contest.
Nominations are considered across seven categories, from biggest overall to “story” trees. It’s possible your favorite tree is already a winner as the contest dates back to 1988 — in that case, it cannot be submitted again.
How to enter
Any Davidson County tree can be nominated, whether it be on public or private property — the owner’s permission is suggested but not required. Make note of the address at which the tree is located and snap a photo for the entry form.
Next, use these tips for measuring the circumference, height, and crown spread of the tree. No need to pine for perfection — Nashville Tree Foundation’s tree experts will remeasure trees for accuracy.
Submit a tree online using this form by Wednesday, Aug. 28. Looking for some tree inspiration? See past winners, including the 75 winning trees from the 2022 contest.
