Initiated in 2009, in partnership with the City of Mons, the World Crafts Council Europe (WCCE) and supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, the European Prize for Applied Arts rewards creations of contemporary expression in the field of Applied Arts and Craft Design.
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.
The works selected for the competition must be of a high standard, both technically and aesthetically, and be innovative.
