The Frabel Awards is the only independent glass art competition open (and free) to emerging glass artists as well as established glass artists. What makes the Frabel Awards so unique is that that your peers vote the winner, not some Jury, making these awards the highest compliment a glass artist could receive.
The Frabel Awards 2008 offers, besides the honor of being chosen as the best artist by your fellow artists, an award designed by Hans Godo Frabel and $3,000 in cash prizes. Finalists are also recognized on the MyGlassArt.org website and their online galleries will receive special front page attention.
Accepted works, which may be any form of glass art, with the exception of beads and pipes, are considered for nomination based on:
Originality of design and creativity
Degree of difficulty
Innovative use of materials
Mastery of the techniques utilized
Aesthetics
Overall technical quality of the piece
To find the best glass artists the Frabel Art Foundation will have two categories for this competition:
Hans Godo Frabel Award
The Hans Godo Frabel Award, designed by Hans Godo Frabel, and a $2,000 cash prize will be presented to the Glass Artist that obtains the most votes from his or her peers on the MyGlassArt.org website. This competition is open to all Glass Artists worldwide (excluding beads and pipes artists)
Frabel Novice Award
The Frabel Novice Award, designed by Hans Godo Frabel, and a $1,000 cash prize will be presented to the emerging Glass Artist that obtains the most votes from his or her peers on the MyGlassArt.org website. This competition is open to all Novice Glass Artists worldwide, excluding beads and pipes artists. Novice Glass Artists are defined as students, early-career artists, and others who are rising through the ranks of glass art but who are not yet represented at the top-flight international galleries.
