[1]Jewellers will get a chance to test their use of CAD/CAM technology and digital marketing expertise at the 2014 MJSA Vision Awards.

MJSA has put out a call for entries for the awards, which this year, includes these two new categories.

“We’ve expanded the MJSA Vision Awards so they honour not only outstanding jewellery design—including custom work—but also the remarkable work of jewellery brands in their use of digital marketing,” said David W. Cochran, MJSA president and chief executive officer (CEO).

“It also celebrates the innovative use of lasers and CAD/CAM to showcase how jewellery designers are incorporating new technologies to better make and sell their creations.”

The deadline for submissions is April 17. Winners will be celebrated at the 2015 MJSA Expo New York.

The categories are:

• Professional Design Excellence (one to three years in business);

• Professional Design Excellence (four-plus years in business);

• The Future of the Industry, sponsored by the MJSA Education Foundation;

• Custom Design Distinction (designs that met a client’s request), sponsored by Techform Advanced Casting;

• Laser Distinction (designs that relied on the use of a laser), sponsored by LaserStar Technologies Corp.;

• CAD/CAM Distinction (designs that were created with the use of CAD/CAM technologies), sponsored by EnvisionTEC;
