Snap a photo of a colorful tree, a pile of raked leaves or your favorite Celebri-Tree. It can be a single leaf, a branch, a whole tree or an entire orchard. It can be just a tree or you with a tree. It could even be your kiddo (or doggo) jumping in leaves – the choice is yours!

Post the photo to Instagram using the hashtag #MileHighAutumn.

The contest runs from Oct. 1 through Nov. 7, 2025. Entry deadline is Nov. 7 at 11:59 p.m. MT.

How will the winners be selected?

Denver residents who submit a photo(s) will be entered into a drawing. Winners of a $25 Ace Hardware gift card will be selected biweekly (Oct. 10, Oct. 17 and Oct. 31 ). All entries from all weeks will be eligible to win the grand prize of a $200 Ace Hardware gift card.

The fine print.

No purchase necessary. Entrants are eligible to win prizes by posting a photo with the hashtag #MileHighAutumn to Instagram.
