[1]The Eighth Annual Centurion Emerging Design Competition is now open and accepting entries.

Sponsored once again by Stuller, Inc., the competition is open to all designers, regardless of experience, formal training, or background in jewellery design, as long as they meet the following criteria:

1) they have never exhibited in a U.S. fine jewellery trade show before;

2) they have the ability to exhibit at a trade fair; and

3) they are able to supply high-end retailers who want to purchase the line. Designers who have not won the competition previously are eligible to enter again. The deadline is Sept. 30 and there is no charge to enter.

Three winners will receive complimentary exhibit space at Centurion Scottsdale 2016, which is being held from Jan. 31 to Feb. 2. Winners will have the opportunity to exhibit their line throughout the show, participate in all show events and activities, network with attendees, and continue on to the Tucson gem shows, if they wish.

Entrants are required to submit up to three images of a piece of finished jewellery; no renderings or CAD drawings will be accepted. Entries will be voted on a special panel of judges and Centurion’s retail board of advisors.
