This competition is for all artists working in the field of applied arts and artisanal design and residing in a European country (including non-EU members). The works selected for the competition must be of a high standard, both technically and aesthetically, and be innovative. It is open to all disciplines relating to the applied arts, which include ceramics, glass, textiles, wood, paper, jewellery, furniture, accessories… This also includes the field of “artisanal design” which covers objects designed and made by the exhibitor either as a one-off piece (or prototype) or produced in small series. Industrially produced objects are therefore not accepted. The proposed works must be recent, that is to say produced after 1st January 2018. The application has to be in either English or French.
