The ZLR JEWELLERY AWARDS 2019 aim to encourage jewellery artists to keep on striving for excellence! With the award, ZLR intends to set a paradigm for personal responsibility and individual initiative, as well as question the value of prestige and distinctions in the international jewellery community.
The awards (three individual artist residencies in Greece) may boost the jewellers' imagination and enrich their understanding of the meaning and uses of jewellery.
Greece's 5.000 years old fascinating jewellery tradition can become an indispensable source of inspiration for every jewelry artist who sees beyond the obvious.
Key dates:
12th of March, the last day of application.
16th of March, the day of the award announcement.
2nd of December, 2019 - 6th of December 2020, awards winners may choose a residency week in between.
The ZLR Jewellery Awards 2019 are:
1st prize:
A one-week artist residency in a downtown Athens flat+studio (7 days/6 nights) with curated visits in world rank archaeological sites, museums and jewellery collections. The residency week also includes a curated 4-day solo show in an Athens art venue supported by expert communication/event promotion.

A one-week artist residency in a downtown Athens flat+working studio (7 days/6 nights). The Artist Residency includes one curated visit in world rank archaeological sites, museums and jewellery collections.
