From Japan straight out to the world: the web site for news and information

This exhibition is an international, open-submission triennial that showcases outstanding works of contemporary glass art from around the world. Bringing together the latest achievements in glass art, it contributes to that art’s further development, throughout the world. The first competition and exhibition were held in 2018, and the second was held in 2021. This year, the third of these competitions attracted 785 entries, from fifty countries and regions throughout the world. The exhibition presents fifty works selected through the first judging.
