Apply for Loewe Craft Prize 2026

Launched in 2016, the Loewe Foundation’s Craft Prize is a prestigious international event celebrating the best in modern craft across a range of disciplines, including glass. Entries are now invited for the 2026 competition.

There is a €50,000 award for the winning entry as the Loewe Foundation wishes to celebrate and support working artists whose talent, vision and will to innovate set new standards of excellence in craftsmanship. There will also be €5,000 for any works given a Special Mention.

A total of 30 shortlisted pieces will be chosen by a jury comprised of 13 leading figures from the world of design, architecture, journalism and museum curatorship, including Kunimasa Aoki, whose clay sculpture won the 2025 Craft Prize.

The works created by the winner and finalists will be exhibited at the Loewe Foundation Craft Prize 2026 in Singapore in the spring of 2026, as well as in the exhibition catalogue.

The application deadline is 30 October 2025.
