Submissions are NOW OPEN for New Zealand’s Botanical Art Worldwide!

Any artists living in NZ or citizens abroad can enter up to three 2D botanical artworks that fit the theme of ‘Crop DIversity’. This exhibition will focus on and celebrate biodiversity in the crops that have been closely associated with the human species over thousands of years. The theme is designed to draw attention to the vast variety of food and useful plants available, in contrast with the relatively few varieties currently used in mass cultivation. Plants eligible for inclusion are those cultivated for food, textiles, building, energy, and medicine.
