North Coast Credit Union is thrilled to sponsor the Tulip Festival Photo Contest. The 40th Annual Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is the largest of its kind in North America and takes place April 1 – 30, 2023. The Photo Contest allows photography enthusiasts to capture the beauty of the dazzling display of flowers which draws attendees from all over the world! We hope you have a great time trying to get the winning shot.

Please follow the Official Tulip Festival Photo Contest Rules to be eligible for the contest:

For each period, a panel of judges will select semi-finalists in each category to be posted on the Gallery pages at www.tulipfestival.org as well as on the Festival’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/SkagitValleyTulipFestival) for information purposes, along with an invitation and link to visit the homepage.
