Those who enter will qualify to win various prizes, including the grand prize, an all expenses-paid trip for two to Paris, France.
All designs submitted must be created using Artaic’s mosaic design software, and Artaic’s newly updated and expanded ⅜” vitreous glass tile materials. The winning mosaic will be fabricated in Boston USA using Artaic’s robotic manufacturing technology, and Bostik’s Dimension RapidCure Glass-Filled Grout.
