Open Call for 2024 AJF Young Artist Award

Apply for the AJF Young Artist Award, open to contemporary jewelry artists aged 35 and under. Held every two years, it acknowledges promise, innovation, and individuality, and advances the careers of rising artists. This international prize in contemporary art jewelry includes US$7,500 for the winner, as well as an exhibition during Schmuck, in March 2024, for the winner and four finalists, who will each receive $1,000.

The benefits of winning ripple out beyond the financial.

The award has advanced their careers by virtue of increased exposure, networking connections, and exhibition opportunities.
