The official call for entries for the 2020 Ceramics of Italy Tile Competition has just been announced.  Hosted by Confindustria Ceramica and the Italian Trade Agency, this annual competition awards North American architects, designers, and students for their outstanding projects and creative applications of Italian ceramic and porcelain tile.  An international jury of design experts will select winners in four categories: Residential, Commercial, Institutional, and Student.

The deadline to enter is 17^th January 2020.  The public voting period will begin 3^rd February and ends on 15^th  February 2020.
