Legnica International Jewellery Competition 2019

The aim of the competition is a wide presentation of the latest achievements of contemporary jewellery art. The works should be jewellery in a broad sense of the word, represent a high artistic and executive level, include an original creative concept and a clear reference to the theme of the competition. The organizers do not set any limits as to the materials and techniques used. However, emphasizing the 40-year tradition of the festival, we suggest the use of silver.
The competition works are evaluated by an international jury. The jury qualifies the works for the post-contest exhibition and awards statutory prizes. The jury’s decisions are final – they cannot be challenged in the court of law.


This year we decided not to look for a pretext or an excuse. It materialized on its own (though it has been with us constantly since 1979 - for the entire 40 years of the history of Legnica silver festivals and exhibitions of design jewellery). And that’s why it’s still so important to us.
