National Christmas Tree Association

The National Christmas Tree Association (NCTA) is a professional organization in the United States of over 5,100 "Christmas tree professionals" in various capacities. The group focuses its work into three areas: promotion and research, federal representation (which includes Congressional lobbying), and professional education.[1] The association was founded in 1955 and has more than 1,800 members.[2]

Blue Room Christmas tree

The official White House Christmas tree, or the Blue Room Christmas Tree, is donated each year by the National Christmas Tree Association (NCTA).[3] The NCTA has donated the tree since 1966;[4] it is chosen through a contest among members of the trade group.[4] Growers participate in state or regional competitions for a chance at competition at the National Convention.[5] The winner of the National Convention is declared the Grand Champion and the tree is then presented to the First Lady.[6]
