Call for entries for Warm Glass UK’s annual Glass Prize

Glass artists around the world are invited to submit a piece of kiln-formed glass art to the Glass Prize 2023, run by glass supplier Warm Glass UK.

There are three categories to enter: the Bullseye Glass Artist Prize, the Aspiring Glass Artist Prize, and the Open Glass Artist Prize. The winner of the Bullseye category will receive £1,500-worth of Bullseye glass or accessories, the Aspiring Glass Artist winner will receive a place on an online masterclass and a £100 voucher for class materials or supplies from the Warm Glass website, while the Open Glass Artist prize winner will receive a £100 Warm Glass voucher.

Lani McGregor and Michael Endo of Bullseye Projects return to the professional judging panel alongside 2022 winner Luisa Restrepo. Glass artist Tim Carey will choose this year’s Open Glass Artist winner and the Aspiring Glass Artists winner will be decided by public vote on the Warm Glass UK Facebook page.

Luisa Restrepo won last year’s Bullseye Glass Artists category with her geometric piece, ‘Modular: Obsidian & Graphite’.

Jack Tadd, marketing director at Warm Glass UK, commented, “The competition is really important for us to showcase and inspire kiln-formed glass artists around the world. In 2022, we were proud to exhibit artists from every corner of the globe, including Korea, Mexico and Europe, in our online gallery, all with an astounding variety of work.”
