Each year Ceramics of Italy celebrates the best designs using tile. The competition is broken down into three categories: residential, commercial, and institutional. Winning designs are chosen for their creativity, efficacy, and overall excellence. In some categories, honorable mentions are celebrated, too. This year the judges chose six projects to recognize.
