There are fewer than three weeks left for art submissions for the 17th Estuary Art and Ecology Award.
Artworks will be exhibited in the Malcolm Smith Gallery at Uxbridge Arts and Culture in Howick.
New contest judge Benjamin Work will select 20-25 artworks based on their “innovative and intelligent response” to ecology and the Tāmaki Estuary.
“It’s always a difficult choice as to which works to include or exclude from the main competition so a number of other commended entries will be selected for display outside the main gallery and these entries will also be open for the People’s Award sponsored by the Rice Family Partnership,” an Uxbridge spokesperson said.
“Our partners and sponsors this year include Howick Local Board, the Tāmaki Estuary Environmental Forum, the Rice Family Partnership and Gordon Harris Art Supplies.”
The prize pool this year is $10,000. Entries are open until midnight Saturday, May 27.
