Preziosa Young Design Competition 2015

The competition does not have a predetermined theme, and the selection will be made based on: quality of design and manufacture of the pieces; originality in the use and interpretation of the materials; conceptual and technical innovation.

Exhibition
The PY exhibition will take place in conjunction with the international event PREZIOSA 2015, in Florence, in the prestigious Marino Marini Contemporary Museum of Art. The organizers could also plan other exhibitions along the year: the selected artists are committed to deliver their work to all the scheduled events. Each of the selected winners must present 5 to 10 pieces for the exhibition. These pieces must be the same (or similar) to those submitted for the selection.

Catalogue
A catalogue will be published for the exhibition. Selected artists will be asked to send new images with appropriate layout and definition.

Awards:
The selected artists (6 to 10) will be invited to take part to PREZIOSA Exhibition in Florence

Materials:
The items may be created in any material and technique

Participants:
Worldwide goldsmiths, silversmiths, designers, artists, professionals, students, may submit their candidature, provided that they are not older than 35 years at the end of 2014. There is no cost for participation, apart from the shipment of the objects.

Selection:
The selection of the winners will be made through the material submitted by the candidates (images and texts): only in the event that the jury deems it necessary or useful for the selection, candidates will be requested to send an object for jury’s evaluation
