The Seventh Annual Centurion Emerging Design Competition is now open and two jewellery designers will get the break of a lifetime.
Once again sponsored by Stuller, Inc., the competition is open to any jewellery designer who has never before exhibited in a U.S. fine jewellery trade show. The Centurion show in Scottsdale, Ariz., is slated for Feb. 3 to 7, 2015.
Entrants must show lines or one-of-a-kind designs that are suitable for a luxury jewellery store environment and be capable of both exhibiting at a trade show and fulfilling any wholesale orders received at the event.
“The Centurion Emerging Design Competition is an excellent opportunity for up-and-coming and international designers to break into the U.S. luxury fine jewellery market by getting their line in front of the most premiere audience of carefully selected prestige jewellers,” said Howard Hauben, president of Centurion.
“For jewellers, the Centurion Emerging Design winners offer an opportunity to discover new talent to set your store apart.”
Ashley Brown, Stuller’s executive director of marketing and public relations, says the Louisiana-based company is pleased to continue its sponsorship of the competition.
“Through their beautiful, innovative designs, past winners have formed valuable partnerships with top retail jewellers and suppliers,” she said. “Ultimately, these designers’ successes become all of our successes.”
The deadline to submit entries is Sept. 30. Entrants are required to submit up to three images of finished jewellery; no renderings or CAD drawings will be accepted. Entries will be judged by a vote from Centurion’s retail attendees.
