The first round of the Best Botanical Illustration Competition ended at the last November midnight. This year we got the artworks of 26 authors to assess.
As in previous years, all the works will be evaluated by an independent jury. Its members include representatives of all institutions which co-organize the event. Together with members of the Natural History Society and online magazine BOTANY.cz there are also employees of the Institute of Experimental Botany of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Department of Experimental Plant Biology at the Charles University in Prague, Department of Philosophy and History of Science at the Charles University in Prague, Botanical Garden of Prague and Granit publishing house. Moreover, professional artists are also among the jurors. The work of the jury will not be easy, we will take great pains to choose the best works among so many interesting illustrations.
An exhibition of all illustrations from the competition will be held from 19th to 27th May 2012 in the Fata Morgana greenhouse of the Prague Botanic Garden.
The awards ceremony will take place in this garden on Sunday 27th May 2012.
We look forward to meeting you at the awards ceremony in Prague!
