Competition with jury and public prizes:

The jury’s prize will be awarded on Saturday at 5.30 pm; the piece will then be returned to the ceramic artists.
The public’s choice award will be presented on Sunday at 5.30 pm; the potter who receives the most votes will win the prize.
A draw will be held from among the entry forms, and the piece chosen by the public will be presented to the visitor selected at random.

The piece will be handed in at the start of the fair, displayed for the two days and collected by the potter at the end of the fair, except for the People’s Choice Award, which will be presented to the visitor selected by the draw.
