The results are in! We had so many entries submitted for our Homegrown x Arbor Day Foundation Photo Contest! Kendama players really do love trees. Some great photos and even more fascinating stories were shared. It took some effort to narrow our choice down to one, but here you have it. (winners: please contact us on Instagram with your shipping info. Honorable mentions will be getting a little swag pack from us as well) The winner of the #HGARBORDAY2016 is @dropdead_kendama_zep !!! This entry stood out the most to us. The imagery is beautiful with the sunset in the background and silhouette of the tree and player focused in the foreground. We really loved the theme of reconnecting with childhood. Reading this brought a lot of feelings of nostalgia, when our days were spent playing in trees and not having a care in the world. Kendama is definitely a tool to reconnect with your inner child and get in touch with nature. Never stop exploring nature and never stop acting like a kid! Thanks for the reminder, Vincent!
Honorable Mentions: @kendama_klaus Klaus really impressed us by actually going out and planting a tree! Way to really participate in the Arbor Day festivities!! Thanks Klaus!
@kendagera Gergely's photo was another that stood out for both it's imagery and story. The tree pictured has a lot of history and meaning to his family. Trees can provide so much, not just from their resources like wood and nuts, but from the tradition and history around them that carries from generation to generation. Thanks for sharing, Gergely!
@loserpieceofshit This one has such a unique perspective it really caught our eye. It's not often that you view roots from beneath them! Beautiful photo!
@bemezii This photo is simply beautiful. It's pretty cool that a tree can produce such amazing flowers. We could look at it over and over again and never get sick of it.

Bob Ross would say: "and here we plant a happy little tree "? so I did! It's a little part of an nearly 1000 year old elmtree which you will find in my hood. I thought it would be a nice thing to give something back. Much love!
