CALL FOR ENTRIES: 2014 CERAMICS OF ITALY TILE
COMPETITION
Beginning a New
Decade of Design Excellence
(November 2013) Confindustria
Ceramica, the Italian Association of Ceramics comprised of over 150 Italian
ceramic tile manufacturers, and the Italian Trade Commission announce the
official call for entries for the 2014 Ceramics of Italy Tile Competition.
This year marks the beginning of the competition’s third decade, honoring the
exceptional work of North American architects and designers who create imaginative
spaces using Italian ceramic tile. The competition celebrates the pairing of
innovative design ideas with products from leading manufacturers of Italian
ceramic tile in creating spaces that are well-appointed, versatile, timeless,
and sustainable. Recent winners include SHoP
Architects, MRSA Architects &
Planners, and HDR Architecture.
For the 21st edition of
the competition, North America-based architects and interior designers are
invited to submit new or renovated, domestic and international projects in the institutional, residential, and commercial/hospitality
categories that have been completed between January 2009 and January 2014.
The jury will judge the projects based on their creativity, functionality, and
aesthetic appeal, selecting a winner in each category. The official criterion
for the jury includes: overall design of the project; aesthetic and technical quality
of installation; degree to which tile enhances the setting; and the project's
sustainable attributes.
Winners will be announced at the
Ceramics of Italy International Press Conference during Coverings in Las
Vegas, Nevada from April 29 - May 2, 2014, where they will present their
projects to the public. The winning architect/designer in each category will receive
a cash prize of $4,000 and a 5-day trip to Bologna, Italy to
attend Cersaie 2014—the world's largest exhibition for ceramic tile and
bathroom furnishings. An additional $1,000 will be awarded to the
winning contractor/tile distributor team in each category.
The Ceramics of Italy Tile
Competition is completely digital and free to enter. The online application,
guidelines and an inspirational archive of winning projects from the past 20
years are available on the competition's official website, www.tilecompetition.com. Deadline for entries: February 3, 2014.
