Artists: are you between the ages of 16 and 25 or know someone who is, and who is interested in creating botanical art? Please consider entering the Young Botanical Artist competition, 2023!
A collaboration between the Shirley Sherwood Collection and registered charity, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the competition gives young artists a unique opportunity to make their mark in the botanical art world. It also gives them a platform to help preserve our planet's biodiversity and we all know there has never been a more critical time to get involved. With a deadline of April 30th 2023, the competition is calling for botanical artwork on the theme of ‘TREES’ from artists between the ages of 16 and 25. The artist can use whatever medium they choose (including digital but excluding photography) provided they adopt a scientific and representational botanical art style. For examples, please go to the website: https://shirleysherwood.com/the-collection. For more details on this competition, visit : https://shirleysherwood.com/YoungBotanicalArtist Vertical Divider
