Now - July 31, 2024.

August 6 - August 12, 2024. Jurying process: the organizers will invite experts to form a review panel. This panel will conduct a preliminary selection of all entries and select 100 pieces (sets) of shortlisted works.

August 13th - August 15th , 2024. The duration of the publicity period will be three days. In the event of a copyright dispute within this period, the participant may face disqualification. The roster of shortlist works, along with the names of their creators, will be made public on the official WeChat account of the Guangdong Shiwan Ceramics Museum. The organizers will extend an invitation to the finalists to partake in the final selection and exhibition, via telephone or electronic mail. Please note that individuals not selected in the preliminary round will not receive any notification.

August 16 - September 30, 2024. Upon receipt of the shortlist notification,  finalists are required to dispatch their shortlisted works to the designated jury and exhibition venues. (The specific location will be communicated at a later date.) The delivery can be accomplished either through logistics or by the finalists themselves. Please note that all delivery-related expenses, including (freight, insurance, customs duties, and handling fees) are to be borne by the finalists. The entrants are obliged to ensure that their works reach the designated location for the final jury process within the stipulated timeframe. Failure to comply with this requirement will be construed as a forfeiture of their rights.  Please note: For foreign artists, it is recommended that their works be transported via sea freight, ensuring compliance with the customs regulations of their respective home countries.

Remark:

Guidelines for Submitting Physical Artwork: The physical artwork for submission must correspond with the images initially provided during the preliminary selection. Proper packaging and handling of the artwork are crucial. It should be safeguarded within a waterproof, moisture-proof, and shockproof wooden crate, designed to withstand the rigors of long-distance sea and air transportation. The crate should be robust yet manageable. For ease of identification by the organizer, please ensure the participant’s name, the title of the work, and an image of the work are clearly marked on the crate. This will streamline the receipt and processing of the work by the organizer.

Maintaining Anonymity and Fairness: Exhibition materials, such as images, presentations, and videos of your work, must include the title “Shiwan Cup”. However, they should not contain any identifying information. This includes the name of your company, your name (including English or Pinyin abbreviations), or any symbols or graphics related to your identity. If such information is included, the work will be deemed invalid. This ensures a fair and unbiased evaluation process.

Specific time to be determined.

（1）On-Site Jury: The organizer will extend invitations to experts to constitute a jury panel. This panel will conduct an on-site jurying of the shortlisted works and determine the recipients of all prizes.

（2）Announcement of Final Jurying Results: The results will be publicized for a period of three days. The specific timeframe for this publicity period will be communicated later.

Works that have received the New Talent Award, the Excellence Award, and those that were shortlisted will be returned to their creators following the conclusion of the exhibition. The museum will bear the responsibility and costs associated with the return of these works. Creators also have the option to personally collect their works from a designated location. Furthermore, the museum graciously accepts donations from authors and will issue certificates of donation in recognition of such contributions.
