Confindustria Ceramica (the Italian Association of Ceramics) and the Italian Trade Agency proudly announce the call for entries for the 2017 Ceramics of Italy Tile Competition and invite you to take part! This year marks the 24th edition of the annual awards program, which recognizes top projects from North American architects and designers featuring Italian ceramic tiles in residential, institutional and commercial spaces.
For the 2016 competition, North American based architects and interior designers are invited to submit domestic and international new construction and renovation projects completed within the past five years (January 2012–January 2017). Projects can use a variety of materials but must feature a significant portion of Italian ceramic or porcelain tile. A panel of design experts will judge the projects based on their creativity, functionality, sustainability and aesthetic appeal. The jury’s official criteria includes: overall design of the project, innovative use of tile, tile design, quality of installation, the degree that tile enhances the setting, and the project’s sustainable attributes.
The winning architect/designer in each category will receive a cash prize of $3,000 and a trip to Orlando to present the project at Coverings (April 4-7, 2017). The prize package also includes a five-day CEU-accredited trip to Bologna, Italy to attend CERSAIE 2017 – the world’s largest exhibition of ceramic tile and bathroom furnishings – as part of a delegation of top consumer and design journalists. An additional $1,000 will be awarded to the winning tile contractor/distributor team in each category.
