International Cup 2024, sponsored by the Clay Studio of Missoula, is an exhibition showcasing ceramic work that explores the infinite possibilities of the idea of a cup. This year's exhibition will be juried by Chris Alveshere.

• Applications must be submitted no later than November 9, 2023. 
• Exhibition dates are February 2-24, 2024. 
• Open to artists world wide. Work must address the idea of "cup" and be made primarily out of clay
• Size may not exceed 16 inches in any direction.
• Current show awards include Best of Show ($200) and other cash merit awards
• The artist is responsible for shipping and insurance on the work to and from Missoula, MT. The Clay Studio is responsible for insurance during the exhibition. 
• All work must be for sale. Accepted work which differs from the submitted image(s) will be disqualified. 
• We can accept a small cohesive set as one entry, but it must be labeled as and priced as a singular item (for example, don't enter 3 cups as a "set" then price them as separately sold items)
• Artists may submit images for up to two entries, and a maximum of two images for each entry. Images should be .jpg files, 300 dpi, and no larger than 2400 pixels in the largest dimension. Image files  should be named with the image number, your last name, and your first  initial (for example: 1-DoeJ.jpg, 2-DoeJ.jpg). Basically, a digital file roughly 4x6" @ 300 dpi is great for the juror to be able to view a quality image, and for us to utilize in PR materials if your work is accepted!
