The European Prize for Applied Arts aims to reward the best creations of contemporary expression in applied arts and artisanal design on the basis of criteria of artistic merit, technical mastery and innovation. This competition is for all artists working in the field of applied arts and crafts, residing in a country member of the Customs Union from the European Union and not subject to customs charges for transport to and from Belgium.
It is open to all disciplines relating to the applied arts, which include ceramics, glass, textiles, wood, paper, jewellery, furniture, accessories… This also includes the field of “artisanal design” which covers objects designed and made by the exhibitor either as a one-off piece (or prototype) or produced in small series.
