Since 1987, the City of Carouge has organized an International Contemporary Ceramics Competition every two years. Over the years, this competition has become an important event for an ever-growing number of artists from around the world. The selected works will be exhibited at the Carouge Museum from September 19 to November 29, 2026. They will be featured in an illustrated catalogue.

Alongside this competition, the Bruckner Foundation organizes the Carouge Ceramic Trail every two years, and the whole city then gets in tune with contemporary ceramic creation, the inaugurations of which take place jointly.

**The competition results in an exhibition and a catalogue presenting all the pieces selected by the jury, which awards the top three prizes. Five prizes are awarded:**

*   First Prize, worth 10,000 Swiss francs;
    
*   Prize supported by the Bruckner Foundation for the promotion of ceramics, amounting to 2,000 Swiss francs;
    
*   Prize supported by swissceramics (Swiss Ceramics Association), amounting to 1,000 Swiss francs;
    
*   Audience prize, supported by the Carouge Museum, amounting to 800 Swiss francs;
    
*   Schools' prize, supported by the Carouge Museum, amounting to 500 Swiss francs.
