BRITISH CERAMICS BIENNIAL AWARD 2023 - OPEN CALL

deadline: 12th October 2022

AWARD is the British Ceramics Biennial’s headline exhibition. It is a prestigious exhibition formed from an open submission that celebrates the vitality of contemporary ceramics practice in the UK.

AWARD invites applications from UK based individual practitioners, collaborators or collectives who use clay as their primary creative material. The AWARD exhibition seeks to have a positive impact on the practice of the exhibiting artists. We seek to support artists who want to make best use of the opportunity, who may wish to tread new ground, use the momentum of the exhibition to focus or make a step change in their practice or to present work in ways it hasn’t previously been experienced.

Each of the ten selected artists will receive £1,000 towards the exhibition of their selected work as part of the flagship AWARD exhibition at the 2023 BCB festival (held in Stoke-on-Trent).

AWARD exhibitors will benefit from a national PR and marketing campaign, curatorial support, programme management support and one-way (return) transport of exhibits. The AWARD winner will receive a cash prize of £10,000 and a place on the 2025 AWARD selection panel. They will be invited to exhibit as ‘Awarded’ in the 2025 festival and they will benefit from additional marketing.
