埔里鎮公所第四年舉辦的台灣熱帶雨林暨觀葉植物精品大賞，首度移師國立暨大學生餐廳地下一樓舉辦，昨開幕將展至三月八日，今年除了二一九件作品參賽創紀錄，也以「植物 × 畫作 × 藝術對話」為核心概念，由台灣植物學藝術協會會員，將歷屆得獎作品繪製成如同真品的植物科學畫作，透過藝術創作以另一種角度來欣賞植物之美。
暨大副校長陳建良指出，這次展出作品非常豐富，可惜開幕展出時間僅3天，希望明年活動的展出時間能夠延長約1週，暨大是全球頂尖的綠色大學，有優良的環境與空間，也能研究發展觀葉植物。
The Puli Township Office held the Taiwan Tropical Rainforest and Foliage Plant Excellence Exhibition for the fourth consecutive year, with the event making its debut at the basement level of the student cafeteria at National Chi Nan University (NCNU). The exhibition opened yesterday and will run through March 8. This year, the event set a new record with 219 entries. Centered on the theme “Plants × Paintings × Artistic Dialogue,” the exhibition features members of the Taiwan Botanical Art Association, who have transformed award-winning plants from previous editions of the competition into botanical scientific illustrations that closely resemble the actual specimens. Through artistic creation, visitors are invited to appreciate the beauty of plants from a different perspective.
NCNU Vice President Chen Chien-Liang noted that the exhibition features a rich and diverse collection of works. However, he expressed regret that the exhibition period following the opening is only three days. He hopes that next year’s event can be extended by approximately one week. He also emphasized that NCNU is one of the world's leading green universities, with an excellent natural environment and ample space for the research and development of foliage plants.
