Sassuolo, 6th October 2014 - The international award dedicated to creators of living spaces, founded and organised by Fincibec Group, is ready to move forward. The Quinquennial Tile Award, now in its fourth edition, is directed at all those who, in various ways, have contributed to creating works with ceramic materials using the three brands of the group, Century, Monocibec and Naxos, between 1st January 2011 and 31st December 2015. Projects related to all areas of construction including residential, public, industrial and commercial, are eligible to participate.

The success of previous editions, showing an improvement in quality, has highlighted the value of this well-established initiative which, every two years, brings designs of considerable interest to the attention of the jury and the public and, more importantly, re-establishes the versatility of ceramic materials, appreciated for their technical and aesthetic qualities, capable of solidifying the creativity of designers around the world.

Registration for the fourth edition of the award will officially end on 31st March 2016. In the meantime, participants will have eighteen months to register by sending their applications online using the designated form on the website www.tileaward.org and attaching the required materials. Starting from this edition, registration will only be accepted online.

A distinguished jury composed of leading figures from the design, architecture and ceramics industries will select the five best works. The winners, who will receive a brand new El Ciclo electric bicycle, completely Made in Italy, will be honoured at a special event to take place during the 2016 edition of Cersaie.

Online registration, the complete rules and more information is available on the website www.tileaward.org.
