Rotorua Museum education lead Emma Liley says a variety of mediums are included in the exhibition - painting, photography, sculpture, printmaking and design.
Most of the portfolios are shown on physical art boards but some students have elected to show their portfolio using moving image.
She says having this exhibition on display in Rotorua is a great opportunity because it provides motivation, and gives students an understanding of what is required to achieve Excellence or Scholarship in Visual Art at NCEA Level 3.
"It gives people a chance see the work our talented youth are producing in schools.
"It is exciting to see how creative the youth of New Zealand are."
Emma says visitors to the exhibition each year are in awe of the talent and creativity shown, and she knows students use it as a great source of inspiration for their own portfolios.
She encourages people to make sure they don't miss out.
