The Finnis Scott Foundation: Botanical Art Award
Overview
The Finnis Scott Botanical Art Prize is intended to support and promote collaborative botanical art projects in the UK and Ireland.

Projects might include (but are not limited to) a new education programme or the development of an existing course, exhibition, publication, event or collaborative project.
