Entries are now invited for the International Ceramics Competition Mino.
The competition is the main event of the International Ceramics Festival Mino, Japan. With the aim of contributing to the development of the ceramics industry and the promotion of culture through international exchange of ceramics design and culture, this year marks the 14th edition of the Festival.
The 2025 competition saw nearly 4,000 entries from over 70 countries and regions.
‘Now that we are in the 21st century, we face an age of mass production, mass consumption, new materials, and new technologies. And we question ourselves. In which direction will the strong waves of our times sweep the spirit and existence of ceramics? Will creative powers be lost before the onslaught of technological achievement? Will we come to deny the warm humanity that connects and looks gently over people living everyday lives? The International Ceramics Exhibition Mino, Japan, offers a glimpse into a future blessed with creativity, backed by the ultimate in technical sophistication, and with the unlimited potential of humanity.’
Application Deadline: 29 January 2027
Exhibition: 8 October – 7 November 2027
