International Jewellery Competition is the main event of the Legnica Jewellery Festival SILVER 2025. The competition has been organized by the Gallery of Art in Legnica since 1979 (initially as the National Review of the Goldsmiths Forms). It is one of the oldest initiatives to promote contemporary artistic jewellery in Europe, supporting creative explorations within a niche field at the intersection of art, craft and design. Artists from all over the world, goldsmiths, designers, professional and amateur jewellery makers were invited to participate in the contest. The competition is artistic in nature, and the organizers left the artists full freedom of choice of techniques and materials, noting that a key criterion for evaluation was a clear reference to the competition's main theme (WOW Effect!).
This year’s edition attracted 268 artists from 42 countries. During the jury session held on 13–14 February 2025, works by 44 artists from 22 countries were selected to form the post-competition exhibition.
The exhibition of selected works will be on view at the Gallery of Art in Legnica to July 20, 2025.
