OVERALL CRITERIA
The New Zealand Rural Sculpture Awards are judged on sculptures which showcase and capture the uniqueness of
New Zealand’s rural landscape, its nature and communities.  The work should reflect the resilience, heart, soul and
humour of those who live, work and love this land.
Entrants are encouraged to give expression to their cultural heritage and their unique experience and interpretation of ‘
The Spirit of the Land’.

Sculptures are to be constructed predominantly from recycled farming or associated rural agricultural materials, including
any natural or manufactured materials commonly associated with farming or rural landscapes. Sculptures are to exhibit skill,
imagination, ingenuity and resourcefulness in their construction.
