BKRK-AWARD #RAWmaterials
The BKRK award aims to challenge, support and guide creative talents and professionals in their path towards entrepreneurship. Have you already registered for the BKRK award #GRONDstoffen? You can still do so until 6 April!
With the BKRK award, Bokrijk and VAKlab are looking for the innovative entrepreneurial professional of tomorrow, whose expertise is open to innovation and relevance in the future.
The award is already in its tenth edition. After the themes of leather, ceramics, bread, textiles, glass, flavour, braiding technology and wood, it is the turn of raw materials in 2025.


This year it is all about #RAWmaterials: materials the earth gives us, from clay, glass and stone to biomaterials, flax and wood. VAKlab is looking for innovative ideas, products or projects that push boundaries and have a positive impact on people and the environment.
With jury members and experts such as Lucas De Man (Biobased Creations), Annette Lantsoght and Stephanie Busard (Atelier Vierkant), Pascal Cools (Flanders DC), Veerle Windels (journalist), Kiki van Eijk (Kiki and Joost) and Ken De Cooman (BC Materials), you will get valuable feedback and the chance to put your concept in the spotlight.
What do you get?
- Guidance from experts in innovation, sustainability, creativity and more.
- A stage for your idea and visibility it deserves.
- The opportunity to take your concept to the next level.
Registration is still open until 6 April!
