Entry into the Celebration of Clay is self-selected...that is the artists presents their best work and works are accepted in the order in which they are entered up to the limit the show can hold. Each year, a panel of jurors select works that exemplify, in their judgement, the best of this year's entries. Cash awards are made for Best of show and 3 Awards of Merit. The UNM Arita Porcelain Group sponsor's an award for "Beauty, Quality and functionality." This year's jurors are Taos artist, Abby Salsbury; Abiquiu ceramic artist, Hebe Garcia; and Taos Ceramics Center Director, Jules Epstein
