Ten Finalists Compete for Slovakia's Tree of the Year Title

Ten trees from across Slovakia are competing for the title of Tree of the Year in the country's annual public poll, which this year introduces a change to its voting process. The competition, a popular tradition that celebrates notable and beloved trees across the country, invites the public to vote for their favorite finalist from among candidates nominated from different regions of Slovakia. The new voting format marks a departure from previous editions of the contest, though the core purpose of the event — highlighting the cultural, natural, and local significance of exceptional trees — remains unchanged.
