The Queenstown Art Society is seeking interest from Gibbston and Central Otago wineries to sponsor a contest for artists to design next year's bottle labels.
Society committee member and Cloakroom Gallery manager Sue Wademan said she was keen to revive the connection between Wakatipu artists and the region's wineries, after winning third prize in the Art on a Bottle competition, organised by Yealands Estate Wines and the Marlborough Art Society, in Blenheim, on November 12.
Yealands Estate sponsored the national competition to the tune of about $10,000, including $5000 in prize money.
Dunedin artist Olav Nielsen won the top prize of $2500.
Mrs Wademan won third place and $500 for Vine Lines.
