The Prix Horizon art competition, launched by Piscines Desjoyaux
3 years ago to support young French designers, is back in full force.
Building on the success of the previous 2 editions, and always on the lookout for new ideas, this year’s competition will focus on design and contemporary creation, with the theme of THE SWIMMING POOL as its field of expression.
There’s no limit to the creativity of the participants, who will have to invent their own objects around the pool, integrating a notion of sustainability and eco-responsibility.
Up-and-coming artists, students, creators or designers… What if you were an object? An object for playing around the pool. An object to stroll around or an object to create a new atmosphere…
The competition will run from September 26, 2022 to April 3, 2023.
Online public and jury voting will open on April 4, 2023.
After jury deliberation (end of April 2023), the awards ceremony will take place in late June / early July 2023.
This year, the Upcycling prize will complete the Public Prize, the Loire Jury Prize and the National Jury Prize.
Desjoyaux has surrounded itself with an exceptional jury of experts from the world of art and design:
Aurélie VOLTZ Jury President and Director of MAMC Saint-Étienne
