The 2017 Ceramics of Italy Tile Competition is now asking North America–based architects and designers to submit their most innovative and sustainable projects from the past five years. Projects should “take advantage of the excellent technical and aesthetic qualities of Italian ceramic and porcelain tile,” and must “predominantly feature Italian tile—newly built or renovated, domestic or international.”
