In my experience, it is not common for illustrators to be given special opportunities to show their work at academic conferences.

It would be great if this example could be followed by others. Please tell us if you know of any other examples, in any discipline.

THE STORY

On 4-10th October, 2014, the Xth Latin American Botanical Congress will be held in Chile.

As part of the Congress, a jury will be set up to judge original illustrations of Latin American plants, in three different categories

Full details can be found at the Congress website here:
