OPEN CALL — YOUNG GLASS 27 at Glas – Museum of Glass Art in Ebeltoft, Denmark

Are you or do you know a young glass artist under the age of 35 and do you dream of exhibiting at the world’s first museum dedicated to glass art from the 1980s and onwards? Then now is the chance.

YOUNG GLASS 27 is the fifth edition of an international, juried competition for artists under the age of 35, organized by Glas–Museum of Glass Art in Ebeltoft, Denmark.

Held every 10 years, YOUNG GLASS was launched in 1987 to reward and promote innovation and emerging talent in contemporary glass.

Works for the exhibition will be selected by a high profile, international jury, and cash prizes and artist residencies will be awarded to the winners.

In 2027, the competition will have special focus on artistic explorations of sustainability and craftmanship.

Closing date for entries: 30th September 2026.
