The Clay Con West Scholarship Essay Contest was created to celebrate the generosity, passion, and creativity of the clay community. This scholarship aims to support first-time attendees who are eager to learn, grow, and connect through the Clay Con West experience. By offering this opportunity, we hope to encourage emerging ceramic artists to dive deeper into their craft, build meaningful connections, and become part of a vibrant, welcoming community.
Two scholarships will be awarded.

A full pass to Clay Con West 2026, and
$1,000 in travel expenses to help make their trip possible.
