Dedicated to nature! Show us your “Beauties of Nature”. Whether it’s the Monstera potted plant at home or the tropical rainforest; a giant whale off the coast of Africa or a small insect, a travel sketch of Bali or a sketched dandelion in the asphalt of a metropolis. Share your miracle of nature with us, no matter which painting technique you choose.

The contest is open for works of art in all painting, drawing and traditional etching techniques as well as mixed media that have been created on a Hahnemühle or Lana paper. Each image must be suitable for reproduction for the calendar in at least 40 (W) x 30 (H) cm in landscape format. All eligible entries will be considered in the selection of the twelve motifs for the 2021 calendar. We reserve the right to request originals for the final selection.

The winners will be announced in autumn of 2020. Each of the twelve winners receive an exclusive creative package worth a total of €350 as well as 10 copies of the 2021 calendar.

The competition opens on 9 March 2020. The closing date for submitting entries is 30 June 2020.
