The competition is held annually and it is targeted for people in the early stages of a career in ceramics. Each year, recent graduates from across Europe are invited to apply to Porzellanikon, setting out their experience and responding to the year’s theme. This year the theme of the competition is “incorporating the qualities of hand-crafted work or folk art traditions into industrially produced ceramics”.

Finalists are then invited to present to a panel of experts from museums, universities and other institutions specialising in ceramics. This year the presentation event was held in Fiskars, Finland. Winners are offered further opportunities to showcase their work at high profile events e.g. Ambiente consumer goods trade fair, and will be invited to attend a workshop at Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen GmbH (Meissen Porcelain Manufactory) to collaborate with their peers working in different disciplines. The winners of 2016 are:

  • Karolina Bednorz
  • Rhiannon Ewing-James
  • Maria Joanna Juchnowska
  • Monika Müller
  • Sabrina Vasulka
  • Wendy Wards
