The Women’s Jewelry Association DIVA Design Competition is open for entries.
This year’s theme, GREEN DIVA: Eco-Conscious Jewels for Today's Green Consumer, reflects the current interest in recycled, reclaimed, repurposed, and/or ethically mined materials that fits in with the eco-conscious jewelry movement.
Designers must state how their entries support the eco-conscious theme. Designers are invited to submit entries in any of the following categories:
- Daytime Jewel
- Evening Jewel
- Men’s Jewel
Entries should be submitted electronically no later than April 25. Designers can enter up to three designs in any or all of the categories.
Judging will be completed by May 10 with winners notified soon after.
All award recipients will be invited to attend the WJA DIVA news conference to be held during the JCK Las Vegas Show, where they will be recognized as award recipients. They will also be invited to attend the WJA Summer Celebration during the JCK reception on June 5.
First-place winners in each category will receive a cash prize of $750 and a crystal award. First and second runner-up entrants in each category will receive a certificate of achievement. WJA will recognize the award recipients in a news release sent to all jewelry trade media.
