The Ceramics of Italy Tile Competition is accepting submissions for its 2025 North American edition. This prestigious, long-running awards program honours North American architects and designers who showcase the technical and aesthetic benefits of Italian tile from Ceramics of Italy brands in their projects, with past winners including Rockwell Group, Perkins&Will, Snøhetta, StudioSC, DEN Architecture and Taller KEN.

This year, the competition features four built categories — Residential, Non-Residential, Urban Design, and Design & New Application — along with a special Student category, which will be judged by an international jury of design experts. Selected winners in the four built categories will win cash prizes up to $5,000 along with a CEU-accredited trip to Bologna, Italy for Cersaie 2025 next September. Additionally, all winners will be awarded a trip to Coverings 2025 – the largest tile & stone show in North America – in April, where they will be honoured at a dedicated awards ceremony.

There is no fee to submit and multiple entries are welcome.
