Confindustria Ceramica (the Italian Association of Ceramics) and the Italian Trade Agency proudly announce the 2017 Ceramics of Italy Tile Competition Call for Entries. Now in its 24th year, the annual awards program honors the exceptional work of North American architects and designers who create imaginative spaces using Italian ceramic tile.

DESIGN
Architects and designers based in North America 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.

ENTER
Enter the project into one of three categories (Residential, Institutional, Commercial) by January 6, 2017 using the online submission form. There is no fee or limit to entries.

WIN
An international jury of design experts will select one grand prize winner in each category. The winning architect or designer will receive $3,000 plus a trip to Orlando to present the project at Coverings and a CEU-accredited trip to Bologna, Italy to attend Cersaie—the world's largest exhibition of ceramic tile and bathroom furnishings—with a delegation of top design media. An additional $1,000 will be awarded to the contractor/distributor team who worked on each winning project.

Deadline: January 6, 2017
