STEUBEN DESIGN COMPETITION

IN CONJUNCTION WITH GLASS ART SOCIETY 2001 CONFERENCE

Steuben is inviting entries for a design competition to be held in conjunction with the Glass Art Society Conference, which will be held in Corning, New York, June 13 - 17, 2001.

The winner will be invited to supervise the creation of their design, working with Steuben’s craftspeople, in the company’s newly renovated hot glass facility. The session will take place during the Conference and the resulting glasswork will be featured in the auction at the end of the conference. The proceeds from the sale of the piece will be donated to G.A.S.

The competition is open to all G.A.S. members, students, artists and designers working in glass.

The theme of the competition is Clear Innovation. Entrants should give their creativity free reign to develop ideas suitable for Steuben’s unique crystal material. Entries must be able to be produced completely in clear glass during one glass blowing session in the hot glass facility in order to be finished within the limited timeframe of the conference.

Proposals should be sent in the form of sketches or technical drawings, and slides or photographs of models may also be included. Please do not send any actual glass or 3D prototypes.

All entries should be received by Monday April 16^th 2001 and will be reviewed by the Steuben Design Group. The winner will be notified by April 30^th.
