Confindustria Ceramica and the Italian Trade Agency are excited to announce that submissions for the 2022 Ceramics of Italy Tile Competition are now open.

The event opens with a conference titled “Sustainability, Energy Transition and International Competitiveness of the Made In Italy Brand."

The Ceramics of Italy Tile Competition annually honors North American architects and designers who use Italian ceramic and porcelain tile in creative ways.

North American architects and designers are invited to apply for the chance to attend a 5-day, CEU-accredited trip to Italy’s culinary capital, Bologna, for CERSAIE.

First created in 2019, the program was developed by the Italian ceramics industry to strengthen its relationship with North American distributors and bring a new generation of importers and distributors to CERSAIE.

Ceramic tiles are the subject of the first International Standard for sustainable products.

Although 2021 started off as an unprecedented year, Italian tile manufacturers continued to do what they do best—invent new designs that not only reflect societal trends, but also solve unique design challenges.

From July 7-9, Ceramics of Italy manufacturers will return to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL to showcase a multitude of brand new tile collections.

North American architects, designers, and students now have until April 1 at 11:59pm EST to submit their Commercial, Institutional, and Residential projects featuring Italian ceramic and porcelain tile.
