GLASS GAMES 2026
CHAMPS 2026 MASTERS FINALS
The 2026 CHAMPS Glass Games Masters Competition was Out of this World! Fitting, considering the 2026 theme was “From Innerspace to Outerspace”. From Dan Hoffman’s micro molecules to JRed’s child sized skeleton, onlookers were stunned by each of the 23 Artists as they brought their unique creations to life.
Thank you to all 23 competitors, for really bringing the heat this year! Granted there was over $45,000 in prizes available with the $20,000 Grand Prize within each Artist’s reach. Once again the work was cut out for the Judges: CoolHandSuuze, Dave Strobel, and Micro, as they selected the top 6 entries. Thank you for tackling that challenging task!
The 2026 Glass Games Masters Competitors included : Amorphous Symphony, Burtoni Glass, Charisma, Dan Hoffman, Dojo Glass, Eternal Flameworks, Ethan Windy, Fargo Flameworks, Guido Glass, Habitat Glass, JMass Glass, JRed Glass, Niko Cray, Phil Siegel, Punty, Ryan Fitt, Ryno, Slob Glass, Sol Fire Glass, Takoda Madrona, Terry Sharp, Warwick Glass, and Zam Chaotik Universe.
