The 1st World Ceramic Biennale 2001 Korea International
Competition was held as a main event of the World
Ceramic Exposition 2001 Korea. It was a great success.
Even though it was the inaugural event, the International
Competition attracted 2,019 highly talented artists
from 69
countries, showing its potential to become an established
international ceramic festival.
Participants were invited to submit entries for
two categories: "Ceramics for Use" and
"Ceramics as Expression." The selection
of winning pieces occurred in two stages, the preliminary
slide selection and the final selection based on
the examination of the actual works.
There was one Grand Prize, two Gold Prizes, eight
Bronze Prizes, 16 Special Prizes, and five
Juror's Choices.
The Grand Prize winner was awarded 30 million won
plus a scholarship worth 10 million won.

as Expression' pieces and 135 'Ceramics for Use'
pieces) passed the preliminary selection and entered
into the final selection for the decisions on the
winning entries.
However, out of these 305 entries, eight artists
failed to submit their actual artworks for the final
selection.
