Jury highlights “creativity and coherence” of work submitted by students at the Escuela Superior de Diseño de Murcia, the UPV, EASD Castellón y València, the Escuela Superior de Cerámica de L’Alcora ESCAL and the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya.
Valencia, 10th December 2024.- Cevisama has selected the seven finalists to display in CevisamaLab 2025’s Emerging Design Talent Show. The event takes place every year as part of Cevisama and recognises emerging creativity and talent in the field of design specialising in both ceramic and bathroom furnishings.
The entries selected will now be awarded a prize of one thousand euros each so that more evolved designs, to be shown at next year’s edition of Cevisama, can be developed. They will all be part of an exhibition within the CevisamaLab area of the main show at Feria Valencia, but two will be designated winners and will be awarded an additional 1000 euros each.
The entries selected come from a number of university and other centres in the Comunitat Valenciana and other regions of Spain that specialize in design.
