Pletcher Chalienge Ceramics Award
1992 — A Premier Award of $10,000
and five Awards of Merit of $1,000 each
and further Merit Certificates at the
discretion of the judge are offered. The
criterion is excellence with mo category
or theme and all styles of ceramic ex-
pression are welcome. The sole judge ts
always an internationally recognized
ceramic artist whose Identity is not
known until after submission entries.
Entrants names are not known to the

Judge.

Entry for the 1992 exhibition is by slide
rather than by actual work, due to the
increasing number of entries from over-
seas and the costs involved for ceramists
to send work to New Zealand, The
deadline for slide submissions is De-
cember 13, 1961. Slides will be sent to
the fudge. When results are received the
successful artists will be notified so they
can send the work to New Zealand by
mid-May. The Awards will be chosen
from the actual works in New Zealand
by the judge prior to the opening on May
28, 1992.

Fietcher Challenge hopes to continue
their policy of bringing the winner to
New Zealand in order to receive the
Premier Award. For further information

trator, Fletcher Challenge Ceramics
