Environmental art sought for card contest

Conservation group The Forest Bridge Trust is running a greetings card art competition from now until March 21.

Winning artworks will be made into a new range of cards designed to reflect the mahi (work) and rohe (territory) covered by the trust, which aims to get rid of pests and restore native bird life from the Kaipara Harbour east to Tawharanui. The trust is also seeking sponsors to provide prizes for the winners.

The theme to inspire budding artists is “Protect, Enhance, Connect” and any 2-D, non-digital medium can be used.

There are three categories – adult, aged 18 and over; intermediate, aged 12 to 18; and junior, for under-12s.

Judging will take place at Warkworth Town Hall on Monday, March 21, where entries can be left between 10am and 3pm. Alternatively, artwork can be posted to Emma Dore, PO Box 404161, Puhoi Village Store, Auckland 0951. Winners will be announced on Monday April 4.
