Enjoia’t Awards 2011

ENJOIA’T, Prize for Contemporary Jewelry Making, is a unique event within the sector, which has been rewarding the most outstanding proposals within the field of jewelry making for professionals as well as students.
However, ENJOIA’T is not just a prize, and you will not find just jewelry. ENJOIA’T is much more than all this, since it is also a celebration of creativity, an indispensable meeting point for professionals in the sector, and a platform from which to show the public your creative project.
In fact, ENJOAI’T rewards originality, technical quality, conceptual richness and transgression in the field of jewelry making so much as to question its own limits.
