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.
