SUMMARY:Climate Canvas - Precious Resources - Art Competition
DESCRIPTION:What does a thriving world look like through the eyes of a creative?  What futures can we paint when we give our imagination full permission to hope? \nEnvirohub Bay of Plenty is partnering with Creative Bay of Plenty to invite artists\, makers\, innovators and visionaries to take part in Climate Canvas – Precious Resources\, a visual art competition that invites artists to look at our future\, what resources we have\, what resources we use\, and what we stand to lose. \nFrom the water in our rivers to the fabric in our wardrobes\, the world is rich with materials and systems that sustain us\, yet too often we treat them as disposable or infinite. We ask: what does it look like to truly value what we have? \nWhat We’re Looking For\n \nTo inspire you\, we are looking for visual artworks that align with this years theme Precious Resources and respond to: \n\nMaterial life cycles – the story of textiles\, plastics\, timber\, and other materials\, from origin to reuse\, repair\, and reimagining\nWater\, soil\, and air – our most fundamental commons\, and what it means to protect\, restore\, or mourn them\nThe economy of enough – alternatives to extraction and waste; circular thinking\, repair culture\, and sufficiency\nIndigenous and traditional knowledge – the deep wisdom of peoples who have long understood how to live within limits\, including mātauranga Māori and kaitiakitanga\n\nWhether your work is made from reclaimed materials\, or simply speaks about them\, we welcome approaches that are speculative\, symbolic\, or grounded in everyday life. \nYour canvas is your climate message.  Submit your work by 31 August 2026 and be part of a public exhibition during the Climate Action Festival week in Tauranga’s Cargo Shed\, followed by a showing at another gallery in the BOP (to be announced). \nPrizes include $800 (1st)\, $400 (2nd)\, $200 (3rd)\, and a $300 People’s Choice Award\, which will be voted on in person at the Cargo Shed during the exhibition.  This is more than a competition\, it’s a chance to reclaim our collective future\, brushstroke by brushstroke. \n\nClick here for the Artist Brief \n  \nClick here to submit your entry\n  \nImportant Dates: \n15 July – Submissions open \n31 August – Submissions close \n3 September – 10 Finalists announced \n17-20 September – Exhibition of 10 Finalists at Cargo Shed with voting in person as well. \n20 September – Awards night at the Cargo Shed with refreshments.
