Applications are open for the 13th International Ceramics Competition Mino, Japan

“The International Ceramics Exhibition Mino, Japan” is the main event of the “International Ceramics Festival Mino, Japan,” which is held with the aim of supporting the growth of the ceramics industry and the enhancement of culture through the global exchange of ceramics design and culture. This is the 13th international ceramics competition since the first one was held in 1986.

Each competition is judged by a panel of distinguished judges from around the world, and entries are received from various countries. In the last competition, we had amazing 2,435 entries from 1,292 applicants coming from 64 countries and areas around the world. The scale and high quality made our ceramics competition truly the representative of the world today.

About 200 excellent works, selected from the competition, will be exhibited at Ceramics Park MINO in Tajimi City, Gifu Prefecture from October to November 2024. We hope to welcome as many guests as possible to view the competition, not only from Japan, but also from all over the world.
