York Botanic Art Prize

Biennial prize - odd years. Calling begins in May 2025.

Western Australia is renowned worldwide for its incredible diversity of plant life, with some of the richest biodiversity on the planet and a large percentage of species being endemic to this land.

To celebrate this abundance of unique flora and highlight the importance of its conservation, Gallery 152 and the York Branch of The Wildflower Society of Western Australia have launched the York Botanic Art Prize.

Expressions of interest are now invited for the inaugural Prize from artists working across a range of mediums, including, and not limited to, painting, mixed media, works on paper, digital, video, photography, sculpture, and textiles.

Botanical art in Australia has undergone somewhat of a renaissance in the last 10 years; however, unlike other botanical art prizes, we're not looking for scientific illustrations nor necessarily representative work - the only limitation being that work must directly relate to the theme of Western Australian flora and make reference to specific WA species. Winner: $7,500 [acquisitive] People's Choice: $500 [non-acquisitive]
