The judges will assess entries based on relevance to the design theme and the originality, creativity and innovation that the design expresses, as well as its wear-ability.
The designs of the top three finalists in each themed category will be displayed at Dubai International Jewellery Week and the overall winner of each category will see their design come to life. The winning designs will be crafted by the National Institute for Vocational Education and displayed throughout the exhibition. In addition, the top three in each category will win an online jewellery design course relevant to their level, run by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
