About

The Award

The Vitrify Alcorso Ceramic Award is a $10,000 annual prize for ceramic art.  Established in 2011, the award is open to artists nationally and is non-acquisitive. 

Four artists are selected from the entries received to develop work for a group exhibition of ceramic art at a commercial gallery.  From this exhibition, one artist is awarded the prize money.  Selection of finalists and the judging of the award is made by a panel of expert judges.

Vitrify is presented by the Alcorso Foundation, a not-for profit cultural organisation with its home in Tasmania.  For more information about the Foundation and its initiatives, please visit the website www.alcorso.org.au.
