The Annual Juried Exhibition, held each spring in conjunction with the Ottawa Clay Festival, showcases an inspiring array of ceramic works. Members submit their work to be evaluated by a juror, a notable expert in some aspect of ceramics. Pieces are selected for the exhibition based on quality, creativity, and craftsmanship, celebrating both traditional techniques and exploring new ideas. All works featured in the exhibition are included in the exhibition catalogue.

Awards are presented in various categories and announced by the guest juror at the opening ceremony. In recent years, the OGP Annual Juried Exhibition has had the privilege to welcome esteemed jurors such as educator and ceramic artist Angelo di Petta, narrative vessel-maker Lesley McInally, and Sequoia Miller, Chief Curator at the Gardiner Museum. Their diverse expertise and thoughtful critique have inspired participating members and helped shape dynamic, engaging exhibitions of Guild work.
