Artists from all over the world, goldsmiths, designers, professional and amateur jewellery makers are invited to participate in the contest. The competition is artistic in nature, and the organizers leave artists full freedom of choice of techniques and materials, noting that a key criterion for evaluation is a clear reference to the competition's main theme (EVERY BODY). The use of silver in the submitted work – while it remains a suggestion of the organizers – is not required.
The distribution of awards and the qualification of works for the exhibition is decided by an international jury consisting of renowned artists, professors, critics, experts and jewellery collectors. The jury meeting takes place in Legnica and requires physical viewing of the artworks.
Post-competition exhibition will be presented in the frame of the Legnica Jewellery Festival SILVER in the Gallery of Art in Legnica from April to July 2026.
The Grand Opening of the Legnica Jewellery Festival SILVER and the announcement of the winners will take place on May 8-9, 2025.
The works rejected by the jury are traditionally presented at the Holownia exhibition during the Festival in the Old City Hall in Legnica, so that the audience has the opportunity to compare their own opinions with the jury's verdict. Artists can resign from participating in the Holownia exhibition.
Jury of the competition:
Paul Derrez (The Netherlands), Sławomir Fijałkowski (Poland), Sergiusz Kuchczyński (Poland), Andreia Gabriela Popescu (Romania), Helena Renner (Germany)
