This annual, international award is for excellence in contemporary scientific botanical illustration,

Margaret Flockton Award (MFA) 2016
​

‘This year there was a large section of really beautiful work, but at the top end the final images were so tight that the judges had to reconvene three times, finally agreeing to award a shared second-prize, reflecting the hair-splitting argument for each piece. They believe that both artists deserved their share of the winnings. Considerations of minute scientific accuracy balanced against those of technical and artistic merit.

This is an archive record of the names of previous prizewinners and the plants they illustrated.
​Many thanks to the diligence of Mervi Hjelmroos-Koski in making a record on the blog of the Denver Botanic Garden School of Botanical Illustration as otherwise some of these names and awards would be lost to the internet!

Completing the listing of past prizewinners and those highly commended is not easy hence this is a work in progress.
There's a dearth of proper records available online - hence this attempt to create one.  If you can fill any of the gaps please let me know.
