· Wearing a piece of jewellery on the bare skin may be a gesture of intimacy in itself.
· Intimacy may be found in the styling of the ornament.
· The material chosen may be intimate; after all, some mineral and organic gemstones have explicitly intimate and even erotic significance.
· Intimacy may be found in the historical starting point of/inspiration for the ornament.
· Intimacy may be found in the spot where the ornament is worn.
· An ornament is not always visible, but it is tangible and present.
To the jury, intimacy stands for affectionate, intimate, confidential and mysterious.
As previous contests had the themes mentioned above, the themes of mourning, loss and death will be outside the scope of the 2008 contest.
Eroticism and sexuality, however, will be within the scope of the 2008 theme.
The group of potential contestants is distinguished into two categories:
Category A : established jewellery artists and silver designers
Category B : final-year and advanced students of all art academies and fourth-level students of the gold and/or silversmith disciplines of training colleges, or comparable levels of part time education or evening classes
– Each participant may submit only one finished piece of jewellery
– The ornament should be wearable
– The designs may not have been exhibited before nor seen/sold by third parties. Only ornaments made
specifically for this contest will be eligible for nomination.
– Apart from the design the participant is also expected to supply an explanation of the underlying idea,
an inspirational text (no more than 15 lines) and a photograph of the source of inspiration.
– All nominated designs will remain in the possession of the organization during all exhibitions and will not be returned for the duration (2.5 years at the most)
