Marca Corona Award 2027 | Contest for artists and designers under 35
Marca Corona Award – 5th Edition: Segni Comuni (Shared Signs)
The Marca Corona Award returns for its fifth edition, inviting emerging artists and designers aged 18 to 35 to explore the power of human connections, shared experiences and collaboration through ceramic art.
Inspired by the work of internationally acclaimed artist Marinella Senatore, the 2026–2027 edition, titled Segni Comuni (Shared Signs), encourages participants to reflect on collective creativity, the exchange of knowledge and the gestures that bring people together.
Applications are open until January 11, 2027. Five finalists will be selected by a jury of art and design professionals, with the winner announced on February 5, 2027, during ART CITY Bologna and Arte Fiera.
The winner will receive a €1,500 cash prize and an artist residency at Ceramiche Marca Corona, where the selected project will be brought to life in ceramics. The completed artwork will be unveiled in autumn 2027 and become part of the company's permanent art collections.
Participation is free.
