The final call is out for entries in the 2018 Waimarino Art Awards to be held in Raetihi next month.
The awards turn 15 this year and co-ordinator Paula Charlton said two new categories have been introduced to celebrate.
"The Remarkable Ruapehu category has been added as a way to encourage artists to celebrate the Waimarino district," she said.
"Although the awards are open to artists everywhere, we want to see the region well represented in the artwork."
Entries in the category can be 2D paintings, drawings or mixed media depicting a remarkable quality or feature of the region.
